I'll start -The Hobbit - I know it's a popular movie, but it's one of the greatest books of all-time overall. A must read for any fantasy lover as those tales spawned many like them.
“The Hobbit”: One Book to Rule Them All
A good case can be made that "The Hobbit" is a better and more satisfying read than its gargantuan successor, "The Lord of the Rings."
