Well alright then. These recommendation lists have been no help to me.
I doubt anyone is going to read through this, but I need another series to start that isn't one of these

I liked:

Wheel of Time
Dark Tower
Malazan
Discworld
Dresden Files
The Expanse
Hyperion Cantos
His Dark Materials
Bartimaeus Trilogy
Earthsea
Altered Carbon
Harry Potter (yeah, yeah)

Sort of liked, in some kind of order of most to least enjoyed:

Black Company (just didn't like the constant changes in narrator)
Gentleman Bastard
Inheritance
Kingkiller
American Gods (not really a fan of Gaiman though)
Stormlight Archive (Loved the first book, hated the second)
Mistborn (same issue - I like his worldbuilding, but not the anime fanfiction powerlevel shit)
A Land Fit for Heroes (pretty boring, but not unreadable)
Codex Alera
Perdido Street Station (liked the worldbuilding, but the conflict and climaxes were too boring)

Disliked:

The First Law
The Sword of Truth
Thomas Convenant
Prince of Nothing
Foundation (not bad, just don't like jumping through timelines)
Live Ship Traders
MYTH (just couldnt get into it)
Shadows of the Apt (just seemed retarded, dropped it after a few chapters)

I've read 4 or 5 thousand books, and I've still not finish LotR.

When I tried reading it a few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the Tom Bombadil part. I thought to myself, this is some interesting writing and imagery. I'm going to enjoy this series.

And then it was followed by a few hundred pages of travelling through trees and rocks. So I skipped to the next book, thinking I'd circumvent the nonsense. The second book turned out to be a few hundred pages of traveling through barren wastelands. Oh look, a mountain. Just kidding old boy, it's just more wasteland.

So I gave up.

I usually have patience for these sorts of things, so I feel like maybe I was just in a bad mood or something.

Should I give it another try?
