Personally for me the best fantasy literature out there is written by David Eddings. I have every single book he has ever written (about 20 or so) and I've read them all at least 3/4 times.
Despite this I have never met anyone who has even heard of him, maybe it isn't for everyone, but it contains brilliant writing, witty, funny and charming dialogue, gritty action, and compelling stories.
My favourite book ever (this one), I would recommend to everyone in this thread. It is crazy good.
Just finished rereading The Belgariad for the umpteenth time, I have to take a break once in a while as their style (he and his wife pretty much co-write every book together) gets on my nerves at times especially in the Malloreon. Some all time great characters of fantasy though like Silk, Belgarath and (for me) Sadi.
Yes! The Belgariad and The Mallorean are the best series I have ever read. I just love them that much.
I was reading through all these replies and was surprised that no one had mentioned these great series yet, so I am happy to find some fellow fans among us.
There hasn't been a single thing I've read from Eddings that hasn't captivated me. If you want some great fantasy, give The Belgariad series a try. If you are sucked in immediately then I don't know what will get you!
