To be honest, I was hyped by Don Quijote. But I didn't remotely enjoy reading it.

There's already a thread for this if I'm not wrong.
There are good suggestions as well.
I'm not sure who suggested me Mistborn and Stormlight series. But it was a good read. Thats good thread to go to if you interested in books.

Man, I'd love to get myself physical copies of LOTR so I can finally read the series

Malazan Book of the Fallen
Lord of the Rings
A Song of Ice and Fire

Is Malazan Book easy to follow? I mean do we have to study a 150-page exposition dump about the culture first before we can understand about the setting and where we are in the story?
