Morkus from Orkus
I still enjoy the occasional read of the Belgariad or The Elenium. He's no longer among the top authors for quality for me, though.I don't think Eddings's style has aged particularly well, and his personal history has cast a pall over his books. (See also: Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey.)
Anyway, another vote for Lord of the Rings.
