I've been searching for a thread like this, but there is none. Therefore, I feel urged to start one.

As the title says, I'm curious about your personal book-toplist.
Please post, to keep it a bit in an order, title of the book and the autho.

Here we go, my personal one without a particular order:

Harry Potter Series (obviously ) - Joanne K. Rowling (OK that's a cheap one, now we're getting serious...)
Otherland - Tad Williams
The Dark Tower - Stephen King
The Dragoncrone War Cycle - Michael A. Stackpole
Dark Elf Series - R.A. Salvatore
Wit'ch Series - James Clemens
Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
Tales of the Otori Trilogy - Lian Hearn
Die Dunkle Zeit (german for "The Dark Time/Age")- Markus Heitz
