Anybody disagree?

To put it succinctly and so that our 'younger' readers will understand it:

Tolkien ROCKS!

Just had to get that out! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

He is the quintecential (sp?) fantasy writer. But there are some other good ones! I ought to know, I have just about every blasted fantasy book you can buy. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif *haha* http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Tolkien, Tad Williams, Robin Hobb. In that order. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Tolkien by far. Second best goes to either David L. McKiernan, David Eddings, or Terry Goodkind.
