Neat idea:
1- LOTR by JRRT. No explaination needed.
2- CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER - especially the original three. One of the few fantasies with - at least a few scenes - worthy of the genre that Tolkien made famous.
3- THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING by White. Great book that is worth it if only for the story of the embryos. But there is so much more.
4 - ELRIC series by Michael Moorcock - somebody told me to read these after I read a lot of Robert E. Howard in my 20's and Moorcock was like Howard on acid. Some of the most amazing images I have ever read.
5- Gregory Maguires series of books starting with WICKED. And I freely admit that the tremendous musical play helps influence my decision to put this on the list.
