http://www.listsofbests.com/list/22488 I have been reading Fantasy and SciFi as a preferred genre since I was first introduced to it sometime in the late '60s. The following list includes most of my favorites. I have read most of the books listed at least once, and a few like the "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy so many times I have lost count. Appropriately, it is the first entry. I have also included a few titles that I hope to read in the near future where I liked the first book of the series.
