J.R.R. Tolkien
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
The Silmarillion
While The Hobbit is a children's book, The Lord of the Rings is often sited as one of the great books of all time. For those who have read the first two, I highly recommend the The Silmarillion, my personal favorite.

Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time
