Not sure how if my list will be complete enough and some may have to be a stretch but here is my lists to the best of my ability. It will have a lot of Stephen King because that is what my wife bought before I started buying my own fantasy books and as I said I have read a lot, just not a lot of fantasy until recently. If you do it this time next year I will probably have the entire list, especially with the help of a $5 Amazon gift card;).

Top YA
  1. Harry Potter
  2. Hunger Games
  3. Chronicles of Narnia
  4. Eyes of the Dragon

Top Fantasy Series
  1. A Song of Ice and Fire
  2. Harry Potter
  3. Wheel of Time
  4. The Dark Tower
Stand-Alone(haven't read a lot here)
  1. The Talisman
  2. The Stand
  3. Eyes of the Dragon
Trilogies
  1. Mistborn
  2. Lord of the Rings
Sci-Fi
Don't think I have read any that would classify. There are some I want ot read but just haven't gotten around to yet.

I didn't rate Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy because I considered it Science Fiction. But if it counts I will give it a
2 and that's giving it the benefit of the doubt, I MO.

Just looking at your tagging. Make sure you don't have a space between @ and the name e.g. @ darth tater does nothing, while this does @Darth Tater

All winners should have received their gift cards now (since I just did them all). Let me know if you didn't receive it.

Hopefully Uncle @btkong will give me some $$$ later to throw some more comps.
