I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.

What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?

    That series has been on my radar, but I’ve been weary because I’ve heard that there’s a big lull in the middle 5 books or so.

      The lull is extremely real & prolonged. Thousands of pages of lull. Loved the books as a kid, but ran out of steam around book 7 or so.

      Fair point, but I would say the first 4 books are an equivalent load to LOTR and worth the time.
