I'd second the Ursula K. LeGuin recommendation. She's written a number of other excellent books, especially the Earthsea series. Christopher Paolini is heavily influenced by her.

Madeline L'Engle's "Wrinkle in Time" trilogy is a classic in YA fantasy literature, as is TH White's "The Sword in the Stone".

For swashbuckling fun, check out Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser novels, or "Three Hearts and Three Lions" by Poul Anderson.

Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series is huge, and very funny. Try to find "The Colour of Magic" first, but you can pretty much start anywhere.

This should keep you busy for a while.
