|
 | The Lord of The Rings (Based on the 50th Anniversary Single volume edition 2004) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £0.47 Probably the best fantasy. Read before the films. Finished it for the first time and reread again straight away.
|
 | The Colour of Magic (Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £4.11 / Used from: £0.01 Put off by the covers at first but now own every Pratchett book. Very funy with real life characters.
|
 | The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan

|
 | Wizard's First Rule: Book 1: The Sword Of Truth Series: Wizard's First Rule Bk.1 (The sword of truth) by Terry Goodkind
Buy used from: £0.01 First few brilliant but later ones have lost focus and I am sick of Richard Rahl now. The series does have a good conclusion though.
|
 | Magician (Riftwar saga) by Raymond E. Feist
Buy new: £5.54 / Used from: £0.89 Fast paced with some great characters. Lacks some depth in places.
|
 | A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: £4.63 / Used from: £2.50 Absorbing. Nice and complicated with loads of parallel story lines to get engrossed in. Author not afraid to kill the main characters.
|
 | The Magicians' Guild (Black Magician Trilogy) by Trudi Canavan
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Picked up because I liked the cover but the best new series I have read recently.
|
 | The Farseer 1.Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb

|
 | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1) by J.K. Rowling

|
 | His Dark Materials Boxed set (His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman
Buy new: £13.20 / Used from: £10.00 Love the idea behind it.
|
 | The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next) by Jasper Fforde
Buy new: £5.14 / Used from: £1.62 Zany. Not fantasy in the traditional sense but really fun and funny. Need to have read some classics to get some of the jokes.
|
 | The Innocent Mage (Kingmaker, Kingbreaker) by Karen Miller
