Things like Lord of the Rings or The Odyssey or something. Epic as in huge in scale and huge in awesomeness.

If you're looking for a fantasy novel besides LOTR, try The Belgariad by David Eddings, or something like the Shannara books by Terry Brooks.
On the other hand, definitely read The Foundation novels... they are epic in scale... and really really good, (but it isn't fantasy, it's sf)

Most have been mentioned, also The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan was looking good until the 5th book, then it became a soap opera, it never ends and just plots plots plots.....
