J. G. Keely's Highly Recommended Suggested Readings in Fantasy

Keely: "As I have sometimes been heard to remark, I'm fond of the fantasy genre. As such, I am often asked by friends and followers of my reviews which fantasy books I would suggest they read, but I am wary of making such suggestions lightly. There are books I adore which are extremely long, complex, and idiomatic--not a good fit for everyone. It also seems my definition of 'fantasy' is considered aberrant by many fans. But to meet the demand, here is the list of my favorite fantasy books [...] There will be some difficult, complicated works, as well as some wild pulp adventures [...]"
This list only includes the "Highly Recommended" entries, and not "The Classics" or "Also Read". I have tried to include just the specific books Keely is recommending when they are part of a larger series that doesn't fully meet his standard.
