Dune, and then the following Dune books - Frank Herbert (6 books)
The Hyperion Cantos - Dan Simmons (4 books)
The Book of the New Son - Gene Wolfe (4 books)
The Hyperion books are simply the single greatest works in SF that I've ever read. Prescient, gorgeous, heartbreaking.
The Book of the New Sun, starting with The Shadow of the Torturer, is unique among fiction in many ways, not the least of which because he makes up his own variants of words in English, to say nothing of the incredible creativity. Easily on par with LOTR and not a damned thing like it.
