Are you ready? I am! Ringer fan Ben sends word of a webpoll for which sci-fi/fantasy author they would recommend. Currently, the professor is in 4th place. (*gasp!*) Lets change that! [More]

UPDATE

Beware the power of Tolkien fandom! In a little under an hour we took the lead. And now, well, now its not close. Sorta scary actually. Last time I looked, J.R.R. Tolkien was winning by 400 votes.

ANOTHER UPDATE

Ben mentions that you can vote for more than one author, so not only can you vote Tolkien to the top but totally reorganise this poll. There’s some deserving authors you might prefer to see rate more highly than they are right now.

The wonderful entertainment site, E!online has just updated it’s “Force of Hobbit” section, which is just stuffed full of grand LotR news!
