I've re read the sword of truth series three times however I've always opted out of re reading "The pillars of creation" it's sorta necessary backstory but you could get by without reading it. What I find most odd is when I encounter die hard wheel of time fans who dislike the sword of truth, however, I've never been able to read the Wheel of time past book 7 and I've tried 2-3 times.
Haven't seen it mentioned yet and I like this thread so I'd advise the First law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie it's an easy 3 book series I found enjoyable, nothing to shout home about but worth a read and fairly short. Also almost any dragonlance or drizzt series is worth a read.

Drizzt wore me out, get tired of the good guys always winning and when Wulfgar comes back it was too much. Likeable characters and the setting is really nostalgic for me since EQ essentially ripped it off, but his story arcs are redundant from book to book. I also read them sequentially instead of in the order they were released so not sure if that changes things.
As much as I was surprised, because the movie was such an abomination, the Eragon series is solid.
Sorry we disagree about Wizard's First Rule, I finished ADWD a few nights ago so I'm back in WFR and I find myself skimming through paragraphs, the characters just have no depth for me. They all seem very shallow in terms of development and predictability. Perhaps that's not true in the long run but then I'd argue it's a fault of his pacing.
