Great! Thanks, ecurbh, for the ping!
Someone please add me to a ping list for this - I'm going to have time to read more soon.

Someone here once said that Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (four-paperback) "trilogy" was better than LOTR. That piqued my interest, and I eventually got it.
The first two hundred pages or so were just painful, hardly any fun at all to get through. I only kept on by stubborn curiosity as to how anyone could possibly say it was better than LOTR, and because the writing, if not fun, was substantial in style.
Well, about that 200th page, the story FINALLY took off, and hundreds of pages later I'm still working through it, intrigued and hooked and enjoying.
But better than LOTR? Good, yes; well-written, yes. But no way is it better.
