If you are like me, then you are a huge fantasy fan. It is easily my favorite genre and I have to force myself to read to read other books. But for this list, we will be staying with this genre as we share our list of the 21 must read fantasy books of all time!

    Here’s the list from the article:

    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien

    A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R Martin

    American Gods by Neil Gaiman

    His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

    Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson

    The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan

    Dune by Frank Herbert

    The Night Angel by Brent Weeks

    The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

    The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie

    The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

    A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

    The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

    Discworld by Terry Pratchett

    The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

    The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

    Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

    The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

    The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

    The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1 by Patrick Rothfuss

    Temeraire by Naomi Novik

    For me a lot of these are solid, but some are pretty questionable. I regret the time I spent with Night Angel, for example, and found Hunger Games to be entertaining, but not substantial enough to get past the first book.
