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.
Although it’s more recent, my favorite fantasy novels are the first law series by Abercrombie (I suggest the audio book). It’s grim dark fantasy, very pessemistic with great character work.
His newest book (The Devils) is slightly lighter and a great read. However, the First Law series is my absolute favorite by Abercrombie.
Came into the thread to recommend Abercrombie, glad to see it’s already covered!
