    Take a stand! LotR vs. GoT

    i agree with what this guy said here. i tried to read the Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer. got to about 100 pages from the end of the fourth book and Cyrano de Bergerac (my favorite character) dies. i put it down. continuing to decipher the dialogue of a Titanthrop speaking with a...

    Take a stand! LotR vs. GoT

    i have no inclination to tackle Robert Jordan. I actually prefer stories that end in one book... ya, Lovecraft can be rather wordy in his descriptions. so can Dunsany. but i dig the way they describe things better, especially Dunsany. he had a better grasp on the fantastic than any other...

    Take a stand! LotR vs. GoT

    i dont think Tolkein was that great of a writer. he was a linguist. i find LOTR to be overly-descriptive of terrain at times and i really hate the army of the dead saving the day. Gondor should have lost in the end... none of the LOTR books crack my top ten fantasy novels. the names i...

    Take a stand! LotR vs. GoT

    neither. ive never read Game of Thrones and I am more into pre-Tolkein fantasy. Tolkein's work doesnt hold a candle to that of Lord Dunsany, E.R. Eddison, A. Merritt, Lovecraft or Mervyn Peake...
