Currently it is J R Ward. She just knows how to bring a story to life. I have read about 15 of her books and I actually miss the characters. I have been thinking of reading them again. I have only met one person that did not enjoy her books but that lady only reads Danielle Steel.0

I could read Mark Twain all day, every day, and over and over again.
Wit and satire, of course.0 -
Stephen King. My favorite book of his so far is 11/22/63. The worlds he creates are entrancing in their authenticity.0
-
Chuck Pahlaniuk and Kurt Vonnegut for a good laugh yet serious gut check sometimes.
Stephen King's older stuff was incredible (There's gonna be a Shining Sequel!)
Orwell, of course.
And Max Brooks for World War Z! (Just remembered Walking Dead is on tonight, I better get to the gym soon).
George Carlin's books are great too. That dude can write.0 -
I read a lot of 'book-u-mentary' style books, just for interest as they are often well written and tell a fascinating human story that's as good as a novel. Brunelleschi's Dome is fab, it's the story of how they put the dome on top of the Duomo in Florence, which was designed without them knowing how they'd complete it. There's very little architecture and a lot of politics and egos :-)
Ross King has written a number of books in that style. Dava Sobel ('Galileo's daughter') has also produced some fascinating work.0 -
