|
 | The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: $8.00 / Used from: $2.20 For my money the Hobbit is the best of Tolkien's work. I know many will disagree, but for me I could read this one over and over.

 | A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 I stumbled onto this series and was just amazed. I look at this series as a kind of turning point. It definitely set the bar for what I consider to be good fantasy writing.

|
 | A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 3) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.99 Martin does it again. I think I read this book in like 2 days...which considering I have a job and the book is not exactly light reading is pretty amazing for me.
|
 | A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.02 Unfortunately this is the weakest of the series, largely due to the book only having 1/2 the characters in it, with the other 1/2 dominating the next book. I will say that upon re-reading the entire series this one was much better the 2nd time around.

 | Crown of Stars (Crown of Stars, Vol. 7) by Kate Elliott
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.16 I wasn't overly fond of the ending, but if you are going to take this series on you have to finish it. All in all well worth the money and time invested.
