A Song of Ice and Fire isn't Sword and Sorcery, it's Epic Fantasy (sometimes called High Fantasy).
Per the above comments and furthermore the books on this list which are actually Heroic/High/Epic Fantasy
Some people truly have no idea what Sword and Sorcery is.
Another list full of books that don't belong on it with idiots voting non genre books to the top of the list.
What a crap list. It's filled with just any kind of Fantasy. I'd love to see a real list of strictly Sword and Sorcery books.
