Fantasy Books Read for H's Phd Research

I'm coming to the end of my PhD specialising in epic fantasy literature, and having read a great deal of the genre I thought it would be fun to put together a list of (almost) everything I read. Kids' books and all! For series I have included only the first book.
This was originally going to be just my favourites, but I've expanded it to include everything (including the ones I didn't like).
