I don't. He's the basis of almost all fantasy work today.

To put it succinctly and so that our 'younger' readers will understand it:
Tolkien ROCKS! Just had to get that out!  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. *haha*  ------------------   The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) Owner/operator of the Evil Petting Zoo and devout member of the HADB clan.

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