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.
Along the same lines as Discworld and Hitchhikers Guide, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The Amazon tv adaptation is excellent as well.
Discworld is great and so many series within it to start with, guards! Guards!, the color of magic, mort, etc really enjoyable to read. My second fav after LOTR for fantasy.
Edit: a couple more fun ones are the forgotten realms/sword coast/icewind Dale/etc d&d setting books like drizzt by r.a. Salvatore and the Diablo novelization series by Richard knaak that reads a bit like Conan the barbarian or berserk
