#1 Terry Pratchett

Sapkowski.

Terry Pratchett, David Eddings (thought I do have to agree that his books seemed a little like childrens books when I read them again) and Agatha Christie (You people read too much fantasy, give the Queen of Crime some credit >.<)

More recent interest is Dostojevskij. I read his book "Crime and Punishment" first time when I was fifteen. Even though I loved it, it was quite heavy to read, so I didn't start reading his other books right away, but I think it's been long enough (three years?) that I really should go to the library...

P.C. Cast - for her HoN books.
R.K. Rowling - no explaination needed
Tolkien - idem dito
Cornelia Funke - she can describe magic as no other. <3 Inkheart

George R. R. Martin, David Eddings, Brian Jacques, Carrie Ryan and J. R. R. Tolkien in no specific order.

Richard Adams: Watership Down
Tolkien: There and Back Again
Clark: the City and the Stars
Jean Auel: Earth Children series
Asimov: Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn and series, Foundation series

J.K Rowling
Eiichiro Oda
Natsuki Takaya

Arkadiy and Boris Strugatskiy
Harry Turtledove

Now I do like many books more than theirs, e. g. Nothing new on the west, Norwegian wood, Witcher series (up to Swallow's tower) but did not like other books from Remarque (no idea why), Murakami (too different, if you don't believe, read NW and let's say End of the world&Hard boild wonderland and you will see) or Sapkowski (the Hussite series, i. e. Narrenturm etc. was not very good) as much but I liked everything I had read from those two, um, three so far.

PS: Sorry, I had to made up the English names because I don't know what names do English translations of the book bear.

Robert jordan

Edit: forgot Brandon Sanderson, i like how he is finishing the Wheel of Time series.

^
I think Brandon does a good job, but you can tell which chapters RJ wrote and which Sanderson wrote.
he does very well thought I do think his portrayal of Mat is off, he uses wrong verbiage.

I also like Orson Scott Card, Tolkin, Ray Bradbury, Terry Prattchett.. oy the list goes on...

But Robert Jordan (RIP) is my all time favorite :)

George R.R. Martin, harry Turtledove, David Eddings and my fav author Raymond E. Fiest
