Wow. You find Tolkien's style archaic and boring? Do you have the attention span of a 4 year old? Salvatore has written some interesting and entertaining books, but please, you're comparing popular culture with art here.
Sometimes its worth the "effort", although I'm not sure how much effort it takes to fight one's way through Tolkien's "archaic" style.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
