Fantasy Must Read List

Since we're naming off the classics here, I would highly recommend both Hesiod's Theogony and his Works and Days, usually packaged in the same slim volume. You get both epic worldbuilding and a cranky but empathetic look at the tribulations of Bronze Age life among the common folk.

 

Yes! I love the “Green Rider” series too, very much worth the mention.

 

Yes! I loved Battlefield Earth. Great adventure. I could read it again.
