What's the Best Fantasy Book Franchise/Series?

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian,  
black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand,  
a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth,  
to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

Awesome!! Lol, I need to get some more Conan paperbacks. I always felt like I had found a treasure when I would find them at random in used book stores around here. I'd snatch all of them up and be forced to eat pb&j sandwiches for lunch for about a week...lol.

Would the Dark Tower series count as fantasy? If so, then thta would be my vote. Otherwise of the ones listed, I chose the Shannara series.

I'm quite new to fantasy books, but I have to vote WoT. Its amazing. I can only describe it as immersive.

I voted Harry Potter but Wheel of Time is a close second.
