That book was awesome

[Raistlin]

Oh, and I don't like Lord of the Rings that much, even though I enjoyed The Hobbit. Wheel of Time was retarded too.

Oh man YES. The LotR books are, in my opinion, vastly overrated in and of themselves (though their influence on the genre is irrefutably profound). Interesting plot but poorly written that it was just boring in parts. I tried to read it twice and stopped partway through the second book both times (and I'm a big fantasy buff).

I wouldn't really consider Wheel of Time a "classic," but the writing there was disappointing as well, with annoying, poorly developed characters.
