As a fantasy reader I'd have to say top favorite would be Branden Sanderson- Not for his work on the Wheel of Time series, which was transparent at best, but for basically every one of his original works. He jumps from conventional epic fantasy to modern day, and his world building skills never cease to amaze- especially since he manages to create new and complete worlds with every one of his unfinished series'.
Then the rest of the top five in no particular order, Robert Jordan for "the Wheel of Time", Patrick Rothfuss for "the Name of the Wind", Terry Pratchett for most of his works in the Discworld sagas, and Anne bishop for the inverse social hierarchy in the "black jewels" novels.

Without a doubt it is J.R.R. Tolkien, the Hobbit was the first book I read that really sparked my love for all things literature.
I also love Suzanne Collins, J.K. Rowling, and Jodie Picoult.

I also love Stephen King, though specifically his short stories and shorter novels, because his longer works tend to have too many extraneous plot lines.
Augusten Burroughs is funnier than anyone else I've read and was such a strong lifeline for me as an LGBTQ teen.
Borges is amazing too, if you have the time and energy to unravel his space/time riddles.
