I've read many medieval/fantasy books such as Lord of the Rings and Eragon, so what other medieval/fantasy books would you say are worth reading???

Stephen R. Lawhead, no question.
He write both, medieval historical fiction: Byzantium, Patrick, The Iron Lance, The Black Rood, The Mystic Rose
As well as fantasy: The Paradise War, The Silver Hand, The Endless Knot, In the Hall of the Dragon King
AND retellings of medieval legend: Taliesin, Merlin, Arthur, Pendragon, Grail, Avalon ("Avalon" is a cool novel because it's the future part of the "once and future king" label applied to Arthur).
His new book coming out this year is going to be about Robin Hood.

If you want a classic, try Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.
Green Rider by Kristen Britain is an exciting fantasy/adventure.
Chronicles of the Cheysuli by Jennifer Roberson is about a race of people that can change into animals.
Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson is a great fantasy/historical fiction/romance about the Robin Hood legend. It's told mainly from the Lady Marian's point of view.
The Winds trilogy by Mercedes Lackey is a decent fantasy series. She also has several other series but I haven't read them yet. (Winds of Fate, Winds of Change, and Winds of Fury)
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is good but very LONG. 11 books and counting. 12 if you count the prequel.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is another good one.

Sister Light, Sister Dark and the sequel White Jenna by Jane Yolen and The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle are my favs besides the Lord of the Rings series.

Try "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman. (There will be a movie based on the book out this summer.)
It's not medieval, but the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman is very good fantasy. The books are "The Golden Compass," "The Subtle Knife," and "The Amber Spyglass."

Anything by Diana Dwayne Jones Is amazing. The Faerie Wars and its sequel The Purple Emperor are both really good. Tamora Pearce's Tricksters choice is really good. Hope you like these because i really did

Although they are children's books I know many adults still enjoy them - "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. I liked "A Horse and His Boy" the best but they were all good.
"Phantastes" by George McDonald was good. I'm about to start another by him called, "The Princess and the Goblin." It looks good.
