Firstborn, Whoo-hoo! Making your competent alter ego commit suicide!
I acknowledge that Tolkien, is the grandfather of modern fantasy, he was mind blowingly creative, creating fantasy as it is today, I'm a longtime Hobbit fan, I've read some of his other works including: Silmarillion, Sons of Hurim, Lotr, and The story of Kullervo. Tolkien is very good, and as I say again the creator of modern fantasy, and I agree that he should get more credit, but I still prefer Brandon Sanderson.
