This, honestly. Despite hordes of copycats there aren't any good books like LOTR. The good authors realized that being a shit Tolkien was a bad idea and instead wrote something entirely different.

>Who is wolfe?
Check his stuff The Fifth Head of Cerebus or Book of The New Sun to know him better. Since you asked for Martin, I'll assume you're interested in fantasy. I'd recommend you to start with the Book of the New Sun which is just incredible and addictive.

>Also is George RR Martin worth reading?
Yes, first three novels of a Song of Ice and Fire series have been pretty rad.
