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 started the second book shortly after reading the first, and I didn’t finish it. I think I prefer to remember Hyperion as a standalone story as it’s so perfect

      Yeah, I put Hyperion/Hyperion series since the series is not for everyone.

      I personally enjoyed the Endymion books, some people enjoy Fall of Hyperion and leave it at that.
