In partial defence of Terry Brooks...

Although his first book, 'The Sword of Shannara' is in many parts a copy of LOTR, the later books are much better. Of course they are no where near as good as Tolkien, but they're something to read.

At the present moment in time, my favourite Fantasy Authors are...

1) Tolkien
2) David Eddings
3) Sara Douglass

Eddings' work is amazing and isnt a straight copy of LOTR like so many others.

Douglass' is also amazing and a bit less heroic (in the sense of chastity).

All good reads!
