Looking for a good Epic Fantasy Book or series?

The website devoted to Epic Fantasy is coming along great.

I have written an essay on finding good epic fantasy. It is broken down into three sections: for beginners, intermediates, and advanced readers. Here is an excerpt from the advanced section:

The Worm Ouroboros - (first published in 1922) by E.R.Eddison This was the Lord of the Rings before the Lord of the Rings was published. You have no doubt heard of this book but if you haven't read it there is definitely a gap in your knowledge of the field. If you are skeptical you may want to learn more about the Ouroboros to understand how important this symbol is in mythology (A circular symbol of a snake swallowing its own tail)
