I’ve never read anything by either. (I know!) They’re in the same category as Pink Floyd and Radiohead: I’m sick to death of men telling me I should read/listen to them because they’re the best thing since sliced bread that I rebelled and will not listen to or read any of them. Do I feel like I’ve missed out? Not a bit. Also, I’m not into that whole fantasy genre thing to begin with. I think it’s grossly overrated. I’ve seen the LOTR films and one episode of GOT - both under duress.
