I see this is already 5 pages. Maybe I'm too late, but have you read The Hobbit yet? It was written by a fellow countryman and is possibly the most famous fantasy book of all time.

I don't believe it is free, but your library probably has it and there have GOT to be cheap second-hand copies floating around. If you like it, read The Lord of the Rings. If not, it is an easy read, only a few hundred pages. (Tolkien wrote it for his son as a boy)
