"Gladiator" by Philip Wylie (1930) is a tale of the life of a superhuman being living in the first quarter of the 20th Century.
"Last and First Men" by Olaf Stapledon (1930) is a speculative history of the next two billion years in human evolution and history.
"Odd John" by Olaf Stapledon (1935) is another tale of the life of a superhuman being - beyond man in both body and mind - and his relations with humanity.
"Star Maker" by Olaf Stapledon (1937) is a much more expansive development of "Last and First Men" - detailing the history of the entire Universe. I don't find it as satisfying as "Last and First Men" or "Odd Jon," but it is still quite good.
"Sirius" by Olaf Stapledon (1944) is a speculation on the life of a dog given human intelligence, and a much less monumental work than the preceding three, but still a good read.
"The Space Trilogy" ("Out of the Silent Planet," "Perelandra" and "That Hideous Strength") by C.S. Lewis (1938, 1943, 1945) is a theist response to the outspokenly atheist "Last and First Men" and "Star Maker" and some of the work of H.G. Wells. It doesn't really function as science fiction so much as it does allegory, but it is excellent reading. Some find the third volume more dry going than the others, but I recommend them all.

read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The first book is called The Gunslinger. There are 7 books in all. They are incredible. His absolute best work. Like them as much as the LOTR series.

Normally I would say anything by Matthew Reilly, but since you want only Fantasy, I will have to change that to either John Ringo or Dennis L. McKiernan or Eric Flint. Enjoy!
