Four SF/Fantasy bloggers have seperately put together their lists of what they consider to be the 50 essential epic fantasies with the following rules:
*No more than one book or series from each author. For example, J.R.R. Tolkien could go in for The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings series, but not both.
*No anthologies.
*You can only list books that you have read.
*Definitions of “essential”, “epic” and “fantasy” are left to personal interpretation.
Some interesting choices.

Some I've read. Some I've partly read. Some I've never heard before.
