Mmm...Anon, do you consider Game of Thrones to be in the same ballpark of LOTR?

I wanted (and tried) to read LOTR because I do like the idea and genre, only to find I couldn't handle Tolkien's writing. GRRM might be just as verbose, but at least it's towards thing I find interesting and not aimless wandering a lot of the time.

(Different anon)

ASOIAF and LOTR are some of the best in the fantasy genre, but they're very different beasts. ASOIAF is more character-driven, and is far more gritty and realistic than LOTR, which reads like a mythology. LOTR is considered the genre-defining work, but ASOIAF plays with and subverts genre conventions.

Do you mean GRRM's books with his plotwise important recital of as much different turtles as possible, his page upon page of different foods or the aimless wandering of his characters who never reach their destination?
Yeah, I find this really interesting too - it's especially interesting because in GRRM's books the aimless wandering is still happening and there is no end in sight! I'm so disappointed that Tolkien finished the aimless wandering of his characters (who even reach their destination) if you can write more books like GRRM with so much more aimless wandering!

[morieris]

He may have finished but the way he wrote it made me not care to continue after the first, so...

[(Anonymous)]

Ahm, isn't GRRM famous for writing anything (especially food + aimless wandering) but plot?

[morieris]

Admittedly I skipped Bran and Jon chapters after the third book, but I find the rest tolerable, especially Brienne.
