Don't get me wrong; I've read a lot of the Shannara books and enjoyed most of them. But if I could only take one fantasy author's works into my fallout shelter, it wouldn't be his.

He still seems to be the best selling living fantasy author, behind only J.K. Rowling. (But yes, he should have gotten off the Ohmsford Kool-Aid some time ago. Let's say... After the third book.)
That doesn't say anything about how good he is, but people like his books enough to keep buying them. And, for many, he was the first fantasy writer after Tolkien.
