Here's a list of a some of my favorite authors:
1. Douglas Adams - Any of the 5 books of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (yes, I know 5 doesn't make a trilogy) . Humor/sci-fi.
2. Isaac Asimov - The Robot or Foundandation series.
3. Robert Heinlein - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers (much better than the movie), Stranger in a Strange Land, Glory Road.
4. Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged, We the Living
5. H.P. Lovecraft - Any of his short stories, especially "The Rats in the Walls", "Shadow over Innsmouth", "Pickman's Model".
6. Edward Rutherford - Sarum, The Forest, London, and Russka (the last two aren't as good).
7. C.S. Forrester - The Horratio Hornblower series.
