The Wheel of Time

I can’t resist an invocation:) Most of these are old since I’ve been reading more articles these days but here are a few good books or series I’ve read more than twice: The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, Neuromancer, the Chronicles of Narnia, Hong Lou Meng, The Heart Sutra, The Bhagavad Gita, The Tao De Ching, The Wheel of Time series, No country for old men, Persuasion, Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, The Way of Kings, The Talisman, the Dark Tower Series, and The Prophet.

The Wheel of Time. I was very happy to find this. I heard complaints that it's just a Tolkien clone and Jordan doesn't portray women well. But what I found was kind of a relic. It's an excellent fantasy series that probably couldn't be written again. Wish we had more like it.

Sorry, series instead of books. Best Sci-fi: The Commonwealth Saga Best Fantasy: The Wheel of Time

I'm on book 5 of Wheel of Time right now. Honestly I haven't liked it as much as anything Cosmere so far but I'm hoping that will change.

The Wheel of Time series is intimidating to me. I have a bad habit of putting books down midway and forcing myself to restart them later on. I think it would take me a decade to get through Wheel of Time!

It really is a good series. I still have the final book left to read, but the journey up to this point has been well worth the effort.

Great book series, I've read through it twice now. There is a stretch in the middle though that is notoriously slow but overall it is incredible. The world building is the best I have ever seen. If you like them, I would also recommend Brandon Sanderson. He writes books almost as fast as I can read them

gonna start reading the wheel of time today. heard many positive things about it and I just needed something that's not about technology to get my mind off work. I kinda stopped reading as much as I used to since I got my first smartphone two years ago, but I am trying to change that

Wheel Of Time is quite honestly the best adventure and most gratifying book series I have ever had the pleasure to read.

A Song of Fire and Ice Zennis Wheel of Time Quiet Lord of the Rings Irrational Exuberance

I started the Wheel of Time series and am currently through book 3 and I am loving it.

The Game, Predictably Irrational, The Mating Mind, and Lord of the Rings stand out to me as excellent suggestions. I'm just now starting book 12 of Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and while I've enjoyed it so far, I'm not sure I'd cite it as "thought provoking". Entertaining, yes, and certainly worth reading, but the series doesn't stand out to me in that way.

I really enjoyed The Eye of the World. I can't wait to start book 2. I have heard the series slows down considerably later on.But so far I love it.

I read through the first three books of the Wheel of Time, but couldn't make it further. I may try again at some point. Did you also love Eye of the World?

Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series is rather epic, as well.

I've been following the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (RIP) which is one of the most famous fantasy series of the past 50 years, and all of Peter F. Hamilton's novels, which can only be described as epic space operas. Both authors are worth reading, but be forewarned that getting through the (currently) 12 books in WoT will take quite a bit of your time.
