I've read 5/6 books. I can appreciate it but it's not my favourite fantasy series. It's still been a huge influence on my world-building endeavours because it's pretty much the springhead for fantasy as a genre.

I hope that's not too negative. :oops:

I've read a lot of R.A. Salvadore's books. I haven't read Wheel of Time but have known a lot of people who liked them a lot.

Not fantasy, but I really liked War and Peace when I read it.

I like world-building a lot too.

I tried writing a fantasy story but it ended up as a disorganized, mostly disconnected mess.
