Stephen King. Although pretty much everything after Misery was a real disappointment.

Colleen McCullough. Especially The Thorn Birds. I can't even imagine being able to write something as enduring as that. It's sheer brilliance. She (like SK) has the ability to create such strong, realistic characters. (except for whatsitcalled, uh.. An Indecent Obsession. Seemed kinda rushed)

Nabokov. That reminds me, where's my copy of Lolita?

Frank McCourt. Angela's Ashes is incredible. The story itself can be so depressing, but he manages to weave this subtle, cheeky humour into it, and sometimes you end up laughing at things you think you shouldn't because of the way he describes it.
