I don't see any list of authors.
"A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness." -- Jean Genet
Is it this sites author list?
"Get thee to a nunnery."
I would probably have to say D.H. Lawrence and Edgar Allan Poe
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Jane Austen for me also
Austen!
Which list? Where is the list?
"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
Don't you get it, Kafka's Crow? There is no list! It is a existential posulation of unique brilliance, abounding in solecisms. I think wilbur may be referring to the list of writers on the main page.

Franz Kafka and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.
-S.T COLERIDGE
I have a strong penchant for Dr. Seuss. (kidding,
In all seriousness, here are some of my favorite authors:
G. Orwell
V. Nabokov
G. de Maupassant
There are so many to name, with so many great books, that choosing an absolute "favorite" is an impossibility for me.
These would be my two choices as well. For nonfiction, I would choose Darwin and Marx.

Do you know Julien Barnes' Arthur & George? It might be irresistibly interesting for you...I love Conan Doyle.How about you all?
