Overview
A 50/50 split of books I've heard of constantly over the years and popular ones I hadn't heard of before (personally).
3 are also comedies (The Princess Bride, The Colour of Magic (Discworld), and The Dragon and the George).
Bonus is the Lord of the Rings Trilogy since I listed The Hobbit as a main book.

Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, Return of the King. Read individually and mark it off completed when you're done, or read the bind up volume.
If you get the Lord of the Rings as a single book, it's typically around 1200 pages. Individually, the first 2 vary by edition from 327-450 and the last typically 480-560.
Audio books are all about 22 hours in length when narrated by Andy Serkis, coming to about 66 hours if read individually. Rob Ingles has a quicker base read, making each around 16-19 hours. Unless you only listen to audiobooks at base 1.0 speed, the time commitment wouldn't vary much at your comfortable pace.
This bind up option is about 52 hours and narrated by Rob Ingles, or a BBC production recording is about 54.
