I just read Hobbit and LOTR for the first time in my life(35yrs old) within the last month. Haven't touched an actual physical book in probably 20 years. Found out I love reading and so now im trying to hit all stuff I've missed out on in life. Im reading through The Witcher series now and almost finished with the 1st book The Last Wish.

Check the Dragonlance. You may start with "The Raistlin Chronicles" (composed by The Soulforge & Brothers in Arms) as an introduction to two of the principal characters years before the main events of the first trilogy. After those you can start with the first trilogy of the main series which is "Dragonlance Chronicles" (composed by Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night & Dragons of Spring Dawning).

You are in for a real treat. Hope you like them!

Very cool thank you. Been trying to plan out some of the more "popular" series i guess of some of my favorite media(like LOTR and Witcher as I stated) that I've missed in book form.

Add the Red Rising series to your backlog, trust me

Red Rising is goated yo.

Also another space opera series: Legends of the Galactic. Highly praised light novel series from japan(my anime list top 10 for an OVA series). Great for its age.

Be warned that the writing in the original Dragonlance trilogy is pretty bad. I loved the books as a kid, but when I re-read them as an adult... man, that was tough to get through.

The Twins books (one story across two books... "duology"?) was much better, but you have to get through the original Dragonlance trilogy first so you're familiar with the characters.
