I think this topic might belong in the Novices and Newcomers section, but to answer your question, I'm really not sure if LotR is on the Top 100 list, but it's definitely in my Top 5. It really depends on who makes the lists, doesn't it.
But I do beg to differ when saying that Tolkien will never to compare to Shakespeare, I think he does. But this might be better as a whole new topic itself...
