I'd like to add some of my favourite series:
Dune by Frank Herbert. Need I clarify?
Saga of Pliocene Exile series + Galactic Milieu Series by Julian May. Technically two series, but they are connected. Read in this order.
Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny.
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony.
R. Daneel Olivaw's stories by Isaac Asimov
Foundation by Isaac Asimov's
The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead
And as bonus, while there is now a series around it, I only really like the first two books (I think the rest should never have been written as the second book finishes the story nicely): River God and The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith. Takes place about 2000 years ago and "now" in Egypt.
