If you are like me, then you are a huge fantasy fan. It is easily my favorite genre and I have to force myself to read to read other books. But for this list, we will be staying with this genre as we share our list of the 21 must read fantasy books of all time!

Pet peeve of mine but grouping an entire series together as an entry in a list of individual books is so stupid. So many lists do this all over the net.

At least pick a stand out book from the series or something. Sorry but don't promise me a list of 21 books then give me trilogies and series all getting their own single entry.

I came here to complain that there’s way more than 21 books on the list.

Discworld is a series of over 40 books!

Lists of book series are way more useful. Book 14 of Wheel of Time is one of the greatest fantasy books of all time. Would I recommend anybody goes off and reads it, hell no.

But that's pretty much what the OP list is doing by having the whole Wheel of Time series on there. To me it's more useful and interesting to see your opinion of that one book than yet another generic list of popular series masquerading as a list of specific books.
