Here's the list from the article:

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien

A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R Martin

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan

Dune by Frank Herbert

The Night Angel by Brent Weeks

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Discworld by Terry Pratchett

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1 by Patrick Rothfuss

Temeraire by Naomi Novik

For me a lot of these are solid, but some are pretty questionable. I regret the time I spent with Night Angel, for example, and found Hunger Games to be entertaining, but not substantial enough to get past the first book.
