Tolkien, J. R. R. 20 - Good Stories wrapped in impenetrably deliberately bad writing for pretentious aesthetic reason. The Samarillion is a crime against readers and literacy.
Vance, Jack 20 - Hate Vancian spellcasting all you want, but his stories were good and the system works well in a narrative structure.

Everyone is more than entitled to an opinion, and personally I love Tolkien and have read the Silmarilion many times and think it is great, but if you are going to criticise something as 'crime against readers and literacy' you should at least get the spelling right or your argument loses all credibility.

Well so many great authors and since David Gemmell is not listed among them I think we should call it a draw.

Yeah. If Sam was going to have his name added to any of the books, it would be Sam of the Rings. That's where he shone.
