@dwarvenallfather I lost the interest in it too. Men deal more in reality and in fiction the writer puts a lot of his bias and his understanding of reality, which is often incorrect as writers tend to drive the story to where they want instead of letting it develop and grow.
One the last good fiction was game of thrones books as George R. Martin, before he got famous, allowed the characters to build their own story and act in consistence with their own defined rules.
That's what great writers do. You focus on the characters, set the world building and let it roll, embracing the chaos.

I had the same impression with the lord of the rings books, even more with the Silmarillion. Although I mostly read historical and classic books nowadays.
