Neal Stephenson:
Zodiac, The Diamond Age, The Cryptonomicon, etc. Most famous for writing Snow Crash, also credited with coining the term "Avatar" as it relates to the internet.

Michael Crichton, Michael A. Stackpole, John Grisham, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and some others, but I only liked a couple of their books.

Best book I've read though, All Quiet on the Western Front

I'm not. Those were good.

In addition to those, my favs are Dave Barry, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ray Bradbury.

H.P. Lovecraft, H.P. Lovecraft, H.P. Lovecraft. Also- Most of the authors that write for White Wolf (Vampire, Mage, etc.) and Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, etc.), particularly Dan Abnett for his excellent "Eisenhorn Trilogy" series. Also, props to Dean Koontz (when I was younger, I used to read ANYTHING by him that I could get my hands on) same for Stephen King and Micheal Crichton. Further, I LOVE the poetry of Dante Alighieri ("Divine Comedy") and the haiku of Basho. I could go on... I'm building quite a collection.

ci5ic- I don't know if you've heard of him, but I HIGHLY suggest William Gibson- "Neuromancer" is an amazing book (really techno/cyberpunk, think "Blade Runner") and it is incredibly prophetic in respect to what has become today's internet, considering it was written in '84.

WORD! How could I forget good ol' Kurt?!

I've read 6 of his books and loved every one of them.

Also, I like R. Heinlen too

Robert Frost is my favorite poet. EVER. I'm addicted to "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, but sadly my school's lousy library doesn't the the rest of the series. I love Erma Bombeck (easy reading, but all-too-true life stories) and her antics. I don't read as much as I'd like, but I'm picky on what I read. For example: The Hobbit has to be the SINGLE worst book I've ever read. Chapter 3 is the max for me. Not ripping on anyone else's taste, but I can't read it.

*puts on flame-retardant suit anyway*

Clive Cussler without a doubt. But also read Jack Higgins a fair bit.
