/lit/ - Literature

Hello /lit/, Barnes & Noble employee here, just had a quick question if you wouldn't mind chirping in.

I had a customer recently who I sold some books too, I was able to make some great recommendations for science fiction and some classics for her son, but she asked me for good recommendations for fantasy, and I just didn't know anything, its been so very long since I even tried to read anything fantasy (Brent Weeks), and I just couldn't get past the first half.

I ended up getting her to order Alamut by Bartol, but that's historical fiction, I'd have much preferred to know some great fantasy recommendations. I excel at selling older books (Neuromancer is my chosen handsell) and I just wanted to know what fantasy books you would recommend to a customer who really knew their shit

Thanks for your time
