I've reread this series 3 times already and will probably do more so, I already plan another reread in around a year.
Sure, first two tomes of short stories are incredible, it's what Sapkowski excells at. But the main saga is great too, though as the story progress it leans more towards Ciri's perspective, rather than Geralt's, and that's why some people don't like it. But I found them very good, Witcher is one of the few fantasy books in which the author makes female characters very complex and well-written. In general, Sapkowski puts main emphasis on characters and their personality, past, motives etc., world is just a background for him (lazy nigga never even made a map for his universe). That's why they all feel much more real, they have their own mission and beliefs, and Geralt has his own. They're their own protagonists, so to say, not npc characters that are only existing to help MC no matter what.
It's a really great series, best combined with playing all three games after reading books, as CD Red did an amazing job to carry this atmosphere to the games, it doesn't get comfier than that.

I've read:
>Harry Potter (comfy reading)
>Kafka's Trial, America, Castle, collection of short stories (most likely will read again)
>Lovecraft's Dream Cycle collection (started, but didn't finish it, will try again someday)
>H.G. Wells' Time Machine, Island of dr. Mareau
>Witcher Saga + 2 short stories collection
>Stoner
>Symposium
>Atomic Habits
>Hospital of Transfiguration
>Harlan Ellison's collection (some stories were fine, most were extremely boring)
>Reymont's Peasants, The Promised Land
>Submission by Houellebecq (god awful book, never falling for this grinch looking french fag again)
>The Denial of Death (jewish gibberish)
>Battle Royale (too long, could've been four times shorter)

I'll be reading Grabiński's horror collection this december.

I reread Witcher saga and then replay games. Lifting and cardio to the point of exhaustion also helps immensely
