I've been reading the Dickens out of Tolkien and have moved on to Robert E. Howard (Lovecraft's pen pal and second-most only to Tolkien in scope of influence over generations of derivative material). I had thought of Tolkien as the godfather of Dungeons and Dragons, but I'm branching out. My friends are telling me I need to read Robert Jordan, but I'm concerned about straying too far from the classics. Also listening to Homer on audio books.
