Default Who is your favorite author?

I, myself enjoy a good book from time to time, and my favorite authors are as follows: Henry David Thoreau, Tom Clancy, James Reese, John Grisham, Robin Cook, and some countless others. How about the whole lot of you? Who do you enjoy reading?

Right now, my "favorite" author is Philip K. Dick. There's a lot more that I like, of course.

If I had to nail it down to just one... I'd have to say Robert A. Heinlein.
