	A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin Buy new: £5.23 / Used from: £2.00 i'm cheating here because i've only heard about how good this is.
	Star Wars - Volume 1: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn Buy used from: £0.01 Not fantasy but this is a must for star wars fans. Plus I've never met a fantasy reader that wasn't a star wars geek.

	Dragon Wing (The Death Gate cycle) by Margaret Weis Buy new: £4.76 / Used from: £0.01 i put Weis and Hickman on again since they deserve recognition for their non-Dragonlance stuff
	American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis Buy used from: £0.01 Not fantasy, but I still dare you to read it. Not for the faint of heart.
	The Curse of the Mistwraith (The Wars of Light & Shadow) by Janny Wurts Buy new: £5.30 / Used from: £0.01 Not as well known as some of the stuff on this list but give it a try.

	The Sheepfarmer's Daughter (The deed of Paksenarrion) by Elizabeth Moon Buy used from: £0.07 I picked this up for $4 at a yard sale (I bargained down from $5)
	The Belgariad (Vol 1): Volume One: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit by David Eddings Buy used from: £8.66 Eddings is a very light read. If you like it he has 3 other trilogies that you're sure to enjoy. Never read the stand alones.
	The Sword of Shannara Trilogy [Rough Cut binding] by Terry Brooks Buy used from: £8.83 This is what I call Classical fantasy. I've read the first two Shannara series, pretty good stuff.
