In my humble opioion you could save yourself weeks of utterly dry, boring and inane reading by skipping Memory, Sorrow, Thorn. Terrible. Good premise, terrible and awful writing. For example,
"He is crawling in the dirt......crawling....crawling......crawling......yet more crawling........wait, is he still crawling in the dirt, yes.......crawling," ad infinitum. That repetitive stuff can go on and on for pages and pages. Terrible writing in my opinion and incredibly anti-climatic. You spend your time reading 1200 pages and the climax takes a paragraph. I cringe at the thought of those books.
I would agree with most of the other suggestions listed here but I would avoid Williams at any cost. P.S. Try Gaiman's American Gods. Not technically fantasy but one of best books I have ever read. Period.
