I guess it is just personal regarding Tolkien, he is my favorite in the entire genre, bar none. Recently found a collection of his unfinished short stories and found them delightful

It is great to read about other suggested authors and series, there is a lot out there. I will carefully avoid mentioning my love of mysteries outside of just mentioning it
