I have a hard time with a lot of fantasy literature (I suppose with most contemporary literature) because it seems that a lot of people have no ear for words: if you try to read out loud it sounds childish and pathetic. I'll have to give Martin and Jordan a look (and has anyone read Erickson -Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen?), but honestly I will be more than astounded if anyone comes within several light-years of Stephen R. Donaldson.
