Tarzan > Hobbit? I don't think so.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Heh! Yeah, Tarzan is steeped in all sorts of problematic colonialism, as noted earlier. But to be fair, I believe it’s more for John Carter of Mars than Tarzan that he’s listed. The Barsoom tales, of course being an absolutely massive influence. Not really on D&D (which Tolkien certainly had the greater influence on), I’d say, but other pop culture giants, like Superman and Star Wars.

Tarzan > Hobbit? I don't think so.

Burroughs wrote ALOT more then just Tarzan and John Carter.
Tarzan at 24ish books and John Carter at 11ish books were just his biggest series

Alright, this is going to sound harsh so let me preface this. I LIKE BURROUGHS. I've read nearly everything he has written at some point in my life, and his books were one of the things that my father and I bonded over when I was an awkward pre-teen and we never really knew how to talk to each other.

Now. Tarzan.

Burroughs wrote more than two dozen books about Tarzan. And a half-dozen more are spin-offs or variations of that same theme--Jungle Girl, Cave Girl, the Eternal Savage (ouch), and so forth. He even wrote a Tarzan/Pellucidar crossover (it's terrible) called "Tarzan at the Core of the World" or something like that. The dude was all about Tarzan, for decades.

And there are almost a dozen Barsoom books (the ones featuring John Carter, and almost all of them have titles ending with "...of Mars"). Like Tarzan, there are also derivative works as well: a half-dozen "...of Venus" books and a handful of "Moon" books, but I digress.

Burroughs wrote dozens and dozens of books, but I'd venture a guess that most of them...certainly more than half...are either Tarzan, John Carter, or derivatives thereof.

But he also wrote the Caspak trilogy, which is my very favorite sci-fi trilogy. So I can't bring myself to downvote Burroughs lower than Tolkien...but I can't let him be greater either. The two must be equals!

This is what I have to say to those banding together to force an out come. Let the votes fall as they will. This is probably just me but it seem wrong to private message each other to coordinate voting to keep a particular author high in the votes.
