I feel like I'm the outlier here for not getting into any fantasy novels beyond Lord of the Rings and the other peripheral Tolkien stuff. I read lots of Squadron/Signal aircraft histories and car magazine articles instead. Not sure if that makes me worse.

I've never read a fantasy novel outside of Tolkien and Martin. I was the kid who'd download D&D pdfs cause I liked reading about a fantastical culture and setting. I really like maps.
