If these are the only books I've read since my first year of high school (I'm in my second semester of college now), what should I move up to that would be similar to these books in setting and whatnot? What genre are they? I already looked at the wiki.

Read Dunsany, then Tolkien, then maybe Lewis, then Frank Herbert, then Vonnegut, then Hesse, then Dumas, then Hugo, Solzhenitsyn, then Tolstoy, and realize you've been reading good classic lit and fantasy after the Inklings is a complete waste of time.

I need to get to bed soon. How much of this is fantasy, or how many of the authors write fantasy? I've also heard Dune is good. Is it?

dune is fine it isnt good but its a fun enjoyable and maybe provocative read that could sling you into the god awful genre of 'literary' fiction
