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?

The first 3 books of A Song of Ice & Fire.

By the time he gets to book 4/5 it's all starting to get a little out of hand for poor George.
