At the moment Steven Erikson with his Malazan Empire serie.

Michael Moorcock

His eternal champion series are each for itself fun to read. However, if you have read all of them and start finding out how the different characters, even those that never met, influence each other, it gets even more fun.

Great work!

Terry Pratchet. His books always find a good home on my bookshelves. I'm no big fan of fantasy but this guy writes in a way I can identify with.

You missed Ursula LeGuin... or whatever her name was.

You know, Earthsea. Famous and suchlike.

I voted for Martin and "other", which includes Steven Erikson and J.R.R. Tolkien.

I also like Le Guin and Moorcock a lot, but a bit less than those three.

David Farland. I hope the Runelords movie is good.

I am rather surprised thus far to see a hack like Robert Jordan get as many votes as he has and a fine author like Katherine Kurtz get zilch ...

However it comes as no surprise that Martin and Feist rank at the top. Or that the majority of 'other' votes are for Tolkien.

Keep those votes coming!
