Speaking of thick S/F tomes, I just finished re-reading book 3 and am now on book 4 of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, which I will recommend if you haven't already read it. The first book is almost more historical than fantasy, but it's intensifying as it goes. And, y'know, lots of characters and plot I care about.
I am totally with you on Tolkein. I can get into world-building, but it has to be something seriously new and different, not just a remix of the same old stuff.
