[QUOTE="Arnox, post: 13379, member: 1"] Some quick background. I love Zelazny, generally. His magnum opus, The Chronicles of Amber, is one of my all-time favorite series', and he's done some other pretty good works such as Lord of Light, and also, some great short stories such as "Frost & Fire". At the moment, I haven't read This Immortal, but I want to remedy that sometime. The only problem with Zelazny, perhaps, is that his main characters very often seem very similar. Nevertheless, I find that archetype pretty entertaining at least. And now, to Lord of the Rings. I've read Lord of the Rings before. Really liked it. It's a thic boi though, so it's been an age since I've last read it. I want to remedy that as well. LotR has this... Mythic timelessness to it that I can't describe. It's something that I feel no other fantasy series before or since has ever really captured. Or at least, not fully anyway. The Chronicles of Amber may be an all-time favorite of mine, but that's much more a balls-to-the-wall guns-blazing (tee-hee) epic of epicly epic proportions. But LotR isn't like that.
