Well, both Martin and Tolkien are great writers in creating worlds, landscapes and delving into people.

Until I started reading Martin, I thought Tolkien the best fantasy writer. However, now I have to admit that Martin is on equal grounds or even better. As he not only delves in people and landscapes but also in politics and intrigues both personal and realm-wise.

oooh, so hard, can't chose who's the best :)
