I also don't like Martin's writing style. But I love the lore. I just can't do another series. What's one book that has the kind of worldbuilding that made us all love (and then hate the unfinished state of) A Song of Ice and Fire?

I know good classic ones. Not anything from this century, because: capitalism.

Edit here is some amazing ones:
The Count of Monte Cristo — Alexandre Dumas
Anything not just: Las Miserables from Victor Hugo
War and Peace — Leo Tolstoy (this technically was published as several books) it is really fun!
The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Red and the Black — Stendhal I do love this tho it has a second one.
The Master and Margarita — Mikhail Bulgakov
Enjoy!

    No, that book is just miserable in my book. It is great tho.
    Hmm thinking about it the other books from him were not less miserable.
