Hard to say exactly because there is probably better Fantasy that I'm only one book into. Like The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, Steven Erikson's Book of the Fallen, and R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing. All of which are excellent.
1. Storm of Swords from ASoIaF
2. Clash of Kings
3. Game of Thrones
4. Feast for Crows
tied for 5th:
Royal Assassin from Farseer Trilogy
Two Towers from LOTR
The Hobbit from LOTR
Lies of Locke Lamora from Gentleman Bastards
I wish I read faster than I do, because I could cover much more ground that way, and there are more fine fantasy writers releasing steadily. I'm currently in the middle of A Feast for Crows on my 3rd read through of the series and I've caught new information or things that tie together each time through.
