M Sidhe:
(I don't know if there is already a topic on this...)
Mine are
Terry Pratchett- Funny, creative, and has a little bit of everything for everybody.
J.K. Rowling- Also creative and has set up a great world of her own
Lemony Snicket- An interesting childrens author, violent and devious but innocent at the same time.
Lovecraft and Company- Infulenced my imagination more than any other author. After reading any of stories in the Lovecraft world makes you sit and think.
J.R.R. Tolkien- Amazing, the only word I can think of for someone this creative.
Algernon Blackwood- Lovecraft'ish, but at the same time at his own drift.

Yeah, one cannot argue with that. Let me add my list:
Anne Rice - She gives the meaning of vampires, emotion and feeling a different way. Not to mention of the constant appearances of phisical attraction.
Bram Stoker - The lord of the Count himself, prince of darkness Dracula.
Edgar Allan Poe - Creative and incredible. Breath-taking.
Errr... whoever I forgot to mention - forgive me for my lack of memory.
omnipotentoculus:
Tolkien, Lovecraft, Poe, Pratchett.
My favs tend to be a bit... canonical: Milton, Dante, Blake, Shakespeare
But I do have a few writers of popular fiction I like, namely:
Frank Herbert: Dune is a masterpiece
George Orwell: Read 1984, do it
Herman Melville: Moby penis is quite a book. It's actually entertaining. I promise.

Oh, I forgot the man who got me into Sci-Fi, H.G. Wells. War of the Worlds. :-D
12oz mouse:
Richard Laymon the auther who got me interested in reading
Stephen King when he's good, he's very very good
Bernard Cornwell the best historical/alternative historical writer (in my opinion)
Robin Hobb her assasin trilogy is probabley the best stuff ive ever read
Laurell K Hamilton her first five Anita Blake books are prety good
H P Lovecraft no one else writes like him (they just waste their time when they try)
