So I grew up very sheltered and isolated from society and as a result missed out on a lot of pop culture and other common things. I love to read, and I really enjoy fantasy and DnD and those types of things and I’m trying to find and catch up on the great fantasy books/series that every fantasy lover/nerd should know. I’m not as interested in sci-fi, but I’m willing to read the “great” ones too. What would you recommend?

Series I’ve read: The Lord of the Rings The Witcher The Dark Tower The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Dungeon Crawler Karl

Update to add also read: Wheel of Time Most of the Stormlight Archive The Hobbit

I’m just starting my first Discworld book.

Edit: Thanks everyone! Keep them coming, I’m going to make a list with all the suggestions and start working through them.

    I have read the Hobbit! I was so excited for the movies and when the first one came out I almost cried in the theater. I made myself watch the second one but never did watch the third one. The book is good enough.

      Some of my best memories are of my grandfather reading me the hobbit at bedtime when I stayed with him for a summer.
