I wouldn't read anything just because they are "legendary". I personally don't like Tolkien's writing style, and didn't like the Deathgate series (but these are just my personal opinions, and I'd be wrong in assuming you wouldn't like them either).
What I do quite often is go to Amazon.com and look up a book I really like. There is an option to look at books enjoyed by others that liked the title you just looked up. I have found several titles that way. You can also look at some of the reviews of what people say of these books (most are useless but you will get some idea of what is going on with the book), and often there will be recommendations in the reviews.
Just my 2.
BTW, Tolkien is good (just not my style), and the "Drizzt"(R.A. Salvatore) books are very good also.
Wheel of Time is good. (Robert Jordan)
Sword or Truth is good. (Terry Goodkind)
Weis and Hickmans Dragonlance stuff is good
George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series is good.(Series really doesn't have a name.)
All I can think of at the momment.
