Well it seems that Tolkien-mania is starting to spread more and more in the wake of the new movies. While watching Jeopardy today, the $500 question in the category “Elves Sightings” was something along the lines of:
This author told of the struggle between the Dark Lord Morgoth, and the Eldarin of in the lands of Beleriand.
And Alex Trebek actually got the pronouciations of everything correct. I think the guy who got the question right is gonna win too. Just thought you guys might find this interesting. I know I thought it was cool.

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.
