Hmm, interesting, because I would match up Lois Bujold with David Drake. I didn't realize till I looked him up just now that he began writing fantasy in the late '90s; mil-SF was his thing. (Of course, Bujold has also turned her hand to fantasy since.) And I find "epic fantasy" and "doorstop" non-correlative; to me, bestselling epic fantasy is also Roger Zelazny, David Eddings, and (urgh) Piers Anthony.... Eddings's books seemed long at the time, but not by today's standards. In the late 1980s early 1990s, I read Robert Jordan because he was there.
