Favorites:

George R.R Martin ~ A Song of Ice and Fire is just brilliant

J.R.R. Tolkien ~ Forget Lord of the Rings (though it IS good), his real masterpiece is Silmarillion

Douglas Adams ~ Top humor


Ones that didn't impress me:

Terry Pratchett ~ Funny at times, but story-wise not too impressive, imo. Haven't really read alot of his, though

Frank Herbert ~ I didn't get worked up over Dune

China Mieville ~ Ditto with Perdido Street Station
