I also read the books that tie the 'Word and the Void' series by Terry Brooks into it.
Years ago I read all of the "Wheel of Time" books. Have you gotten into the Brandon Sanderson written ones yet? I "read" his "Mistborn Trilogy" (audiobooks) much more recently and I remember that better.
Lol I'm 195 pages into the first book I have not got to those books by Sanderson yet :p I'm not allowed to start anymore series until I read what I have so since I have all of Wheel of Time and Sword of Truth to read I doubt I will ever get to another series hehe
Ditch them. Start collecting Pratchett, including his kids books.

I try to limit myself to one to make it easier to finish.
Now I'm reading two books at once despite my best intentions.
You're in for a treat! Robert Jordan gives a background story to even minor characters, which I always thought was cool. That definitely contributes to the often +500 page count.
I gave up on Jordan after the third book once I realised he was pulling a LaJenkins, ie turning an idea that was good for, at best, three books into a massive sprawling anthology, massively weakening his premise.
I do acknowledge that Jordan was a much better author than Jerry Jenkins.
