Everything else...Shannara, Xanth, Amber...seemed to be either trying too hard to imitate LotR (and getting it wrong) or going off into some other realm where I would not follow. I quit trying after college.
Amber, I like. Most of the rest.... comic fantasy, now, I like that. Not Piers Anthony, he's lousy, but Terry Pratchett is a genius. Well, he's British, what do you expect.
Tad Williams is a good fantasist though my favorite of his works, the Otherland series, is science fiction. But SF with fantasy overtones and borrowings.
