So you've only read one of his books.
The quality of Rothfuss combined with the quantity of Sanderson would approach the perfect fantasy author for me.
Steinbeck is an excellent choice; when I’m skeptical as to whether
The Grapes of Wrath and
Of Mice and Men are even in your top 3 books, you’re doing something right. He also had range from fiction to non-fiction, and from short story to novella to epic-length novels.
I'd rather an author who has 3 great books and 7 awful ones than one who has 10 pretty good books, personally; I can read reviews and figure out what to read, and the more truly great stuff I wind up taking in, the better.
