Ha, you just had to mention two authors I'm not particularly fond of! Tolkien is legendary for his immersive fantasy worlds (which is what makes them such good movies) but I find him longwinded for the boring parts and not detailed enough for the interesting parts. I have the same problem with Game of Thrones though, which everyone else also seems to like.

Mark Twain is the 'Star Wars' of authors. His stuff was absolutely amazing at the time, but it's really pretty sub-par by today's standards.

Just my thoughts, obviously plenty of people disagree so best of luck!
