I'm finally done with Tolkien. Where should I go next? Please dont say C.S. Lewis o R. A. Salvatore.

This.

Tolkien was actually a huge fan of the Conan stories, to the extent that you might say they're LOTR's inspiration. But be sure to only read Robert E. Howard's stuff, L Sprague De Camp is total shit.

I'm not sure. I still have the exact same hole in my heart that has existed since I finished LoTR; ASOIAF is really the only other series that has successfully filled the void.

The books that I've decent in my search for the next book are Assassin's Apprentice, The First Law series, Dune, The Kingkiller Chronicles, and (arguably, even though I disliked them strongly) Malazan Book of the Fallen.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 26 06:20:17 2015 No.6054011 >>6053154 The first book in the Narnia saga is pretty readable. If you like something more humorist i suggest a book from Terry Pratchett.
