I want to recommend a few books as I think we talked about this thread before in chat.
A lot of the books that I would recommend are already there, so I got some to ask about that are not "Epic" fantasy.
Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini? To young adult? I liked them a lot and can't wait for the 4th book. There are a few series I like that fall under the "young adult" section of books.
I'm guessing Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is out (for length aspects) but his Conan books are great fantasy stories even if they fall into the "fan fic" area of fantasy.
Bedlam's Bard Series by Mercedes Lackey and Ellen Guon. Cheesy? Yes. It's also Urban fantasy (Lower realm elves hang out at the mall using low magic to make copies of quarters to play endless video games) so I don't know if that's out or not.
I wanted to suggest this book in the Sci-Fi thread, but I think it's more fantasy than sci-fi. Perdido Street Station by China Miéville is an awesome read and one of the few books that really challenged my vocabulary (he loves latin words). Might be to sci-fi for this thread, but I got to mention it somewhere.
Killing all D&D books really bumps out of a lot of my "classic fantasy" books. I'm going to have to brain storm to add some to this list.
I still haven't read LOTR...
