What kind of fantasy are you looking for? For the traditional sword-and-sorcery, two fisted thud and blunder tales, go with Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. For a weird inversion of the style, try Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone stories. For a laugh, go with Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser series, and most definitely Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" novels and C.S. Lewis' Narnia series are obligatory, as is T.H. White's "The Sword in the Stone". Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea books are excellent, though there's less 'action'. Orson Scott Card's "Tales of Alvin Maker" are set in an alternate frontier America, and they're pretty good. There's a whole lot more, but this should give you a start.
Hope this helps.

What grade are you in? I'll just give you a list of books that just about anyone from middle to high school will enjoy.
-all of the Harry Potter books, of course
-Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (in that order)
-The Sight by David Clement-Davies (He has several other books; that one's just my favorite. It's about wolves in Romania who get caught up in a prophecy about one of their pups.)
-Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel (This is a story involving bats...there are three or four in the series and this is the first.)
-any book by Tamora Pierce (These are more oriented toward girls because girls are always the main characters, but they are filled with action and adventure so most boys should like them, too. My favorite so far is the Beka Cooper series, which is about a girl training to be a 'dog', which is this world's equivalent of a cop. The first book is called Terrier.)
-any book by Neil Gaiman (He wrote Coraline, Neverwhere, and Stardust, among other things. I've read Neverwhere and it's one of my favorite books.)
-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol (This is a classic fantasy novel. It's pretty weird, though, unless you read everything as symbolic.)
-any book by Terry Pratchet (His books are great and usually funny, too.)
If you want to search for more, you can always look on Amazon. Here's a link to the teen fantasy section:
