As to OP, I’ve read some of those, and I’ve enjoyed a few, but doesn’t it get old reading the same stuff over and over?

I've been attempting to get back into sci-fi/fantasy for awhile now. I just picked up the first couple Discworld books from Pratchett, but I'm not sure if I will like them.

Did you ever try Patchett's books? Or is that not your thing

Maybe not if you want something more serious

OP here, the way I find new fantasy books is by going to the library in the fiction section and just looking for a cool cover and name. Maybe my local library doesn't have those books.

Why did every single book start with that nonsense of a gust of wind starting from the mountains and then moving and blowing over whatever location the first scene was going to be in? It was like a god damn anime intro.

Kind of hard to answer.
I guess my favorite characters were from Hyperion, my favorite setting Lord of the Rings, my favorite battles from Stormlight Archives, my favorite humor from Discworld, and my favorite magic from Earthsea. My favorite harem definitely Wheel of time.

Yes they completely nrglect this in the movies, but in the book it is pretty clear Frodo is learning to use the power of the ring to enslave gollum to his will.
He forces Gollum to swear to him, the master, rather on the ring. They changed it in the movies probably because it was too much of a spoiler for those who havent read the series.
