I love to read, plus I read quickly. (Like HP 5 in one day quick.) So I've read, just off the top of my head...
Belgariad
Malloreon
(some) Chronicles of Xanth
Ender's Game and some sequels
Narnia
Harry Potter
And a myriad of other books. So yes, I do read.

You are all forgetting 2 of the best fantasy series in the world!!
First is the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. These books should be on a government enforced public curriculum!!! Everyone should read them.
Ji'e'toh demands it!!
He's dragging his heels on them though, we're at book 10 now and the story seems like it'll NEVER end. And he's even started on a prequl or 3 (good grief!)
Great reading though 
Second is the Song of Fire and Ice books by George R.R. Martin (if he ever damn well finishes them!!)
Again he's dragging his heels brining out the next book 'A Feast for Crows', but if you like knights, chivalry and backstabbing then this is the series for you.
There are dragons in it too!
Other series I enjoyed:
Discworld - enuff said.
DragonLance - though I haven't read the new trilogy, what they like?
All Robin Hobb's books, both Farseer and Liveship series.
Belgarion/Malloreon and stand alone books by David Eddings.
The Gap series by Steven Donaldson. Sci-fi with one of the tensest ending I've ever read in a book!!
And the Excellent Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. These are BIG books, but when you hear the term 'Space Opera', they mean these books.
Course I read other stuff than Fantasy/Sci-fi.
I like books about serial killers (fact and fiction), crime books, humor (The Mammy by Brendan O' Carroll - same guy who wrote The Committments), and horror of course. I was a teenager once
So if you're looking for something to read - check that list out, you won't be disappointed.
