If you like dragons then definitely pick up the Inheritance Cycle, which is Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr. Or you could try the Age of Fire series. |

Current Lucid Goal: Summon a Dragon
I second Moby Dick. It is definitely a challenge to get through but incredible. |

"MementoMori, the lucid machine"
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."
Wow, thanks a bunch. |

If you've read the LOTR series and loved them then The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series is a must. It is one of the best literary works this decade..... It's the culmination of history and literature brought into four books. |

I second LOTR. The Hobbit is also very good. On the subject of fantasy books, the Ranger's apprentice series is awesome, but for every book past the fourth you'll have to order a foreign copy (probably UK/Australia) as they haven't been released in the US (why?) |

too much fantasy in this thread. Unless that's explicitly what you want by "epic". |

I'd recommend Milton as well. Of course, it's a poem, not a novel. |

The Illiad / Odyssey - Homer |
|
Haha you sold me. I'll for sure put it on the list. |

Gravitys Rainbow by Pynchon is pretty high tier. |

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King |

I would recommend Clive Barker's "Imajica" and Tad Williams's "Otherland" series. |
