snarpI'm trying to educate myself culturally. What are the classic annoying fantasy series that I need to have read, as a nerd?
Notice that I'm talking about annoying fantasy series - like, stuff where every single book has the same plot, or the cast of characters grows by six or seven people every book and every book gets longer because they all need to have stuff to do, or the last eight books have pretty much just been about the author's hat bondage fetish, or whatever.
I have read Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books and Raymond Feist's Magician books.

Oh, did someone mention Terry Goodkind? I managed to avoid him luckily, but from what I heard he's an exceptionnal good example of horrible epic fantasy.
