Hmm. I'm not THAT much into fantasy. I've read Tolkien's stuff and A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin and a bit of Terry Pratchett (the man's a genius), but nothing else. And this may sound strange, but I could never get into Harry Potter. I wanted to, because I enjoyed the concept and all the funny little words, but Rowling's style...just irritated me. I tried the Sorcerer's Stone at least 5 times but I nearly fell asleep at each go.

Anyone else got the same problem?
