I genuinely cannot believe that no one has mentioned A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR Martin... Its way better written than LoTR!

LotR is probably the most influential series of all time, and its the father of all things fantasy and I love it for that (Read it several times over) But still there are much better plots in loads of other books.

And to think that 40k novels are being mentioned and ASoIaF not even listed.... I really, really find it strange.
