    David Gemmell
    Terry Pratchett
    Bill Bryson
    Tolkien (only The Hobbit, his other work is so dry.)
    George Orwell (I've only read 1984 but if I find his other work I'll probably read it)
    I want to read Stephen Hawkings books but havent seen them anywhere.

    Stephen Hawkins has some refreshingly clear books, aimed for a mass audience and very readable...

    id say i enjoyed his "a brief history of time" the most

    silmarilion was the most dry book ive ever read, and its part of the "lotr" series, so you could argument that it makes the entire series a bit dry on average

    tbh the only really good one was return of the king, all the others were "just" above average, but rotk was a very good book

    The hat.

    The beard.

    The legend.

    And the only fantasy series you'll ever need. Or afford, considering the epic amount of books.

    So epic, the original author died before he could complete his work. :(

    The guy who took over, Sanderson, is unfortunately not quite on par with Jordan, but at least we'll get the last part sometime next year.

    Considering your avatar I half expected this to be your first post Omneh.

    Michel Houellebecq
    Aldous Huxley
    Thomas Bernhard

    ...

    actually, its less about authors but books isnt it? theres only a few authors of which ive read more then 1 book - and not because i didnt like it - but because there was too little time yet?!

    i liked this one too ...
