What other fantasy should I read if I’m obsessed with Lord of the Rings? (lemmy.ml)

I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.

What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?

Stormlight Archive (Sanderson). Wheel of Time (Jordan). Broken Earth trilogy (Jemisin). Elric of Melniboné (Moorcock). Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn (Williams).

To name a few.
