Terry Pratchett ~ Discworld series is amazing.
JK Rowling ~ Love the HP series.
Dan Brown ~ I have a deep fondness for the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.
Mine would be J.K. Rowling, JRR Tolkein and Applegate. Those three are brilliant authors. For the latter, I voted for fiction. Originality and creativity is better in this world today.
James Rollins/AKA James Clemens-great writer. Known for such titles as Subterannean, Ice Hunt, (more recently)Map of Bones, and Black Order.
Matthew Reilly-Great great writer. He knows how to keep the action non stop and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Known for titles as Ice Station, Temple, Scarecrow, and most recently Seven Deadly Wonders.
Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child-(This counts as one! ) These two writers make up the amazing duo known for Relic, Reliquary, Brimstone, Book of The Dead, and many more. Every book delivers like no other, and there characters are breathtaking in their depth.
Terry Pratchett: For the Discworld series and Good Omens. I have read everything that man has written, I think.
William Gibson: I was surprised no one mentioned him. The first real poet of sci-fi and the inventor of cyberpunk and for that matter, the man who visualized the internet 15 years before it's existence. If any of you haven't yet read Neuromancer I suggest you start there and keep going until you've read everything he's written. I already have.
Orson Scott Card: For the Ender series, the Bean series, and the Alvin Maker series.
I also noticed Garth Nix, Frank Herbert, and JRR Tolkien mentioned. There's way too many writers out there for me to narrow it down to just three. Also surprised no one mentioned Neil Gaiman, especially since he did a Sandman comic collaboration with Yoshitaka Amano.
