1.
The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

2.
The works of JRR Tolkien The works of JRR Tolkien

3.
The works of William Shakespeare The works of William Shakespeare

4.
Tain Bo Cuailnge Tain Bo Cuailnge

5.
The Dark Is Rising pentalogy The Dark Is Rising pentalogy
, by Susan Cooper


Although the
Dune pentalogy Dune pentalogy
, by Frank Herbert, might almost tie for #5, and the
Mabinogion Mabinogion
might almost tie for #4.
