Re: OT: good fantasy books
Not mentioned so far:
Michael Moorcock, and his The Eternal Champion body of work. Elric of Melniboné is probably the best known. Also Cormyr, Hawkmoon, Erekosë and many others.
Robert E. Howard, and the original Conan short stories. Classic sword and sorcery everyone should read.
Stephen King, and the Dark Tower. A strange postmodern metafiction that ties together all his novels. Sadly, I felt the series lost its focus towards the end.
