Re: RA Salvatore
Salvatore writes professionally, 2-3 books a year. Almost exclusively fantasy fiction. They are paced well to keep things going(or he wouldn't be selling much).
Tolkien wrote literature, perhaps. The jury of History is still out. That being said, I agree that parts of the LotR moved glacially slow. I especially wanted to get through, and quickly, the SLOOOW part of the Two Towers...the part where Frodo, Sam and Gollum are making their way to Mordor.
