It is thanks to Tolkien I began enjoying the fantasy genre. For example, "The Wheel of Time" saga by Rober Jordan is very good, but only if one enjoys a loooooong read [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Of course, I can't stop drawing parallels, but that's something I have to live with. There are, of course, some fantasy books nothing like Tolkiens, but that's mostly military fantasy, which I enjoy.
