So when does The Belgariad actually get good? I'm at book 2 part 2 now and so far it's all just been a boring travelogue with some very basic plot happening for like 10% of it. Is it really worth sticking with it? I see people praising it and saying it's essential reading but so far I just don't see it. Is it just nostalgia or does it actually get good if I just stick with it a bit more?

>What I really want is another good series; something that draws me in and builds a world ill give a shit about and rewards my interest.

Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, the one talented jewish writer, John Carter of Mars series, and if you're looking for straight-up fantasy, then read the Belgariad, which is a 5-book epic fantasy series well worth your time.
