Iain M. Banks - This man is a legend. Although I am a fan of his fiction (M. removed), I love his science fiction. Particularly his Culture novels. Each story is well put together and thought out, with a detailed and expansive narrative. What's all the more impressive is the rate at which this man churns them out. If he realises 1 book a year its a slow rate for him
Joe Abercromie - Has written an ongoing series of bloody, dark, and humorous novels which show the depth of characters normally reserved for minor parts in other similar novels. There are no true heroes, just men and women trying to survive in a violent and warring world, often with their own ongoing battles with inner demons.
Chris Wooding - Having half his released books meant for young adults, and the other half light and fun, does not take away from the excellent story telling and character development. Like Joe Abercromie, all his characters seem to have some inner turmoil or another, and this is worked into the stories fantastically

Yes, I too like Dostoevsky and Nabokov. Of course there are so many good authors. It is a long list.Gnosimaie wrote:Dostoevsky because he is Dostoevsky.
Nabakov because how can a person write so fluidly in a language that is not even his native tongue? I forgive him for thinking that women can't write.
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis because their works filled my imagination at a young age and therefore influenced my entire life.

I'm also a big fan of Stephen King. I feel like a lot of his work will be considered timeless, where people generations from now will be reading it and commenting about his brilliance.

I agree. Stephen King is a brilliant storyteller. He sucks you in within the first paragraph, if not the first sentence. Masterful.Boondock66saint wrote: I'm also a big fan of Stephen King.

Thank you. At least I think you were talking to me. If not, I'll look like this:pawpoint wrote:
