Authors you actually like.

In response to "authors you hate", I'd like for you to state authors that you actually like, good authors that nobody has ever heard of, or authors that you like but nobody else does.

John Wyndham. Very good science fiction writer.

 

[curlycrouton]

J.R.R. Tolkien, a true literary pioneer.

George Orwell, for his masterful Animal Farm and 1984.

Nick Hornby, for High Fidelity, Slam, and many, many others.

Ben Elton for Blind Faith and The First Casualty.

Douglas Coupland for the wonderful, surreal Jpod.

I'm sure there's many I've missed out, but these are the ones that stick out.
