If it has not been mentioned yet, you must absolutely read Tolkien's The Hobbit and then The Lord of the Rings as those are the cornerstone of fantasy literature

I read the Cugel stories when they appeared in F&SF, and then later when they appeared as an Ace paperback. A wonderful book, along with The Dying Earth.

I love just about all of Jack Vance's work, but I never could afford that Integrated (?) set that came out a few years back.
VIE, Vance Integral Editions --- a friend of mine has a set and I envy him that. He's one of my favourite authors, and I'm probably going to start trying to get a set, purchasing them as I go to re-read my favourites (after I finish my Manly Wade Wellman collection).

I read those back when Ace AND Ballantine had them out!

Too, I own Anniversary Editions of 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' - put out somewhere around 1979 or so.
