Tolkien compared to other writers

I just read Song of Ice & Fire book I and II - it was GREAT!! I loved it so much, it kills me not continue with the next book, but I'll be strong and wait till after my exams *grumble, grumble* I will even go as far as to say that Martin now shares the position of 'favourite writer' with Tolkien

Martin - for his excellent plots, characters and utter unpredictability. His writing is gripping and so believable. Amaizing.
Tolkien - for his poetic writing style. No one's work is more beautiful and breathtaking than his.
