I've had brief exposure to some of the more well-known fantasy series, but was looking to again start with some other-worldy literature.
I've either read entirely, rad in (nominal) parts, or am at l, at the least, familiar with the following (plots, characters, etc.):
'A Song of Ice and Fire' - George R.R. Martin
'The Lord of the Rings' - J.R.R. Tolkien
'Chronicles of Narnia' - C.S. Lewis
'The Dark Tower' - Stephen King (someone can finally spell their ENTIRE name...)
'The Wheel of Time' - Robert Jordan
'Inheritance' - Christopher Paolini (ugh...)
I've spent a moment or two in my life staring at the covers of the following, but have done litle else:
'Sword of Shannara' - Terry Brooks
'Discworld' - Terry Pratchett
I'm sure several on here will swear by one series or another; my personal favorite is George Martin's magnum opus (for reference). Any recs? Why?
