I just love James Patterson's books! He is an awesome writer, in my opinion. I have read 25 of his books with 50+ to go.

    I :heart: Jane Austen.
    Also Shannon Hale, David Eddings, and Madeline L'Engle. Yes, the mostly write fantasy, and it's mostly YA fiction, but the stories just come alive.
    Oh, and another classic: Alexandre Dumas.
    And Shakespear, but he's more of a playwrite than an author.

    I love JRR Tolkein. I re-read LOTR every summer...probably makes me a bit of a geek, but I can't get enough of that story!

    Dean Koontz (especially the Odd Thomas series)
    Piers Anthony (especially the Incarnations of Immortality series)

    I don't know if I've ever met another person that loves Piers. I haven't read any of that series, but I've read all except the newest of the Xanth series (and most of the others at least twice).

    I also like Trudy Canavan, JRR Tolken, and Christopher Paolini.
