What other fantasy should I read if I’m obsessed with Lord of the Rings?
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?

Have you tried wheel of time?
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.
I'll add those to my list!
I understand many people enjoy it but I wouldn't recommend this series at all. I could barely get past the second book as the characterisation was too frustrating.
