Rocmistro 1,090 Posted May 4, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAAp_luluo0&feature=youtu.be I'm an old fart, romantic and traditionalist, so I'm voting for J over G. Maybe that's betraying my fellow American, but so be it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drasnighta 26,831 Posted May 4, 2016 Eh, I never really liked either of their styles... Which is really odd... You'd think that my love of Frank Herbert would put me in J R R Tolkeins camp, but it doesn't.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caldias 2,209 Posted May 5, 2016 I appreciate both, but without J there is no G, so J it is. Plus, at least one of them actually finished a series. 1 Rocmistro reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WuFame 1,269 Posted May 6, 2016 I really appreciate what Tolkien did but good lord I could not get through LotR. It's so slow. I absolutely love the lore and the movies. I can get lost on the wiki, but man those books were a chore. GRRM is a more entertaining writer IMHO, but I appreciate both men's creations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That pure fantasy writing, in particular, grates on me? And the fact that I enjoy Science Fiction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Tareq 704 Posted May 6, 2016 Literature-wise J, no competition. I love the GOT series, but that has probably more to do with the directors and everyone else involved and not just G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that you painted a very cool looking clonisher for clon, and that I don't have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
