Dont be baffled.

The list of people who have actually read about Elric and Stormbringer, Erokose, Tanelorn etc is shrinking day by day.

Times they be a changing...

Elric was my favorite, followed very closely by Corum.

 

[Maxperson]

All I know is I’ve read dozens upon dozens of fantasy books. I’ve never heard of anyone on this list but Tolkien. I’ve heard of a few of their characters, but none of the authors.

That is called the Test of Time. You can be the greatest author in history, but if newer generations don’t pick you up and read your works, your work has not stood the rest of time.

Tolkien’s has. Out of everyone on this list, Tolkien’s work has stood the test of time.

Read Michael Moorcock's Elric and Corum books, and The Amber books by Zelazny. I still re-read those every so often. Fritz Leiber was fun as well, but I think the first two are better. Tolkien does rule them all, though.
