tolkien is favourite by far. However George R R Martin, Hobb, and Jasper Fforde are also up there.

What, whose, and who's are all totally different words. So yes, you spelt them wrong, via far.

yea hes good, the only thing i dont like about his books are that there to descriptive, when their walking he describes every little stone they pass.

I kinda like that. First of all it's not every stone second of all it's a whole different world and he wanted to get it across to the reader. The thing I don't like about Tolkien the most is the long pointless songs. But otherwise the books are AWESOME!

Andre Norton, she was a genius when it came to sci-fi, her style very unique and her books extremely addicting.

Okay, back on topic, my favorite author would have to be Robert Jordan who wrote the Wheel of Time series.

Well, I think fans of LoTR fans would like it (I know I do, and yes I have read the LoTR books), because it is similar in the style and background. But no elves or dwarves though. Or live dragons (so far).

George RR Martin has very awesome song of Ice and Fire, novels definitely deserving the title epic. Jasper Fforde has a very interesting books in that the characters are alive and there is a book world and etc.
