You're talking about Burrouhgs? Just that one or the whole trilogy? Which one is your favorite?

The Ticket etc is his worst.

My favorite is either The Western Lands or Nova Express.

Considering that Nova Express is part three in his Nova trilogy I kinda look forward to reading that one next, to see if I can spot any difference stylewise.

George RR Martin - A Game Of Thrones

After reading Feist, Jordan and Donaldson (who I liked), I picked this up and it just blew me away.

Is it worth it to continue with the series?

Uhh, dude. Yes. The best fiction books I've ever read. And if you loved the first one, why not continue?

i LOVE both series but i can't choose nor compare them,they are totally different types of fantasy, storytelling etc.

I've read the first Dark Tower book years ago. I'm thinking of continuing it now but everyone says the first 3 are good and the rest is crap. Is this true ? It can save me a lot of time if so, they're too long and I have a million things in line that I want to read.

2,3 and 7 are the best. 4 is the weakest. But it's really good to read all them.
