Did a little searching ( to be honest not a lot ), and didnt seem to find a thread dedicated to great literary works.
Everyone loves a good yarn, some love a good thread of books. My personal faves: Series/Novels The Dresden Files Nightrunner Series Last Herald Mage Trilogy Anything by Eric S Nylund Raised by Wolves Series Discworld Series/Anything by Terry Pratchet |

Pretty nice list, GallowHand.
Mine are, from the top of my head, in no particular order: - Kraken (China Miéville) - Game of Thrones (George R.R. Martin) - Heart-Shaped Box (Joe Hill) - The Dark Tower Series (Stephen King) - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (J.R.R. Tolkien) - Dune Series (Frank Herbert) - The Road (Cormac McCarthy) - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson) - On the Road (Jack Kerouac) - American Gods (Neil Gaiman) +++ - Various short fiction from H.P. Lovecraft (Especially from his dream cycle), Stephen King, Clive Barker, Isaac Asimov, Joe Hill and Ambrose Bierce. I also really enjoy Sandman (Neil Gaiman), Hellblazer (Garth Ennis) and Locke & Key (Joe Hill). |

I'll just add three of my personal favorite novels
The Last Wish- by Andrzej Sapkowski The Giver- by Lois Lowry Neuromancer- William Gibson The Last Wish I have read more recently and really enjoyed while The Giver was one of my all-time favorites from high school. Neuromancer was a book assigned for my writting siminar that I recently took: it was really good. |

Seems like nobody's reading the Runelords series (correct me if I'm wrong).
I've only gotten to the 4th book, but it's pretty much the only fantasy series I enjoyed other than Tolkein's works. |

Elantris (Brandon Sanderson)
Warbreaker (Brandon Sanderson) Everything by R. A. Salvatore Terry Brooks especially his newer books |
|
|
Anything by Alan Dean Foster.
Anne Mccaffrey and Mercedes Lackey also have a lot of good books. Janet Evonovich has a really good series about a bounty hunter too. |
