/lit/ - Literature

Hello, /sffg/, I come to you with great hope.

I have been very interested in the fantasy genre but it has been difficult to find the sort of things I like.

I'd appreciate recommendations on any of these:

1) A world with detailed history and lineages/genealogies with a heavy focus on culture, clans and the peoples inhabiting the world.
>Example: Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, ASoIaF to some extent

2) A world with detailed descriptions of the fauna, gods, monsters inhabiting it - a fantasy ecology that is delved into in some detail, I guess.
>Example: Something like Jeff Vandemeer's Annihilation, Witcher books, Hellboy

3) Something that focuses on survival and/or nomadic lifestyles. Based perhaps in a wasteland, frozen land or a desert
>Example: Roadside Picnic, Dune, Metro 2033
