Who do you personally believe to be the greatest author to have put pen to paper?

[aRc]

Alexander Solzhenitsyn...not so much an observation of the Human condition as the reaction and consequences of it!

I prefer Samuel Clemens to Mark Twain

Nah, Mark was much better.

I really love Dan Simmons. Who could have imagined Keats being used like that =]

Also Peter F. Hamilton is very excellent as well.

Kinda obvious what I read now.

I have signed Dan Simmons and Neal Stephenson books for sale
