- Robert A Heinlein – Particularly for the Past Through Tomorrow stories but also his novels (which I’ve read most of)
- Harry Harrison – For The Stainless Steel Rat novels, Make Room! Make Room! and pretty much everything else except the Bill the Galactic Hero stories that I just can’t get into
- Frank Herbert – Dragon in the Sea, the Dune series and many of his other works
- JRR Tolkien – For The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit but I’m not bothered about the rest
-
Bernard Cornwall – The Sharpe novels which are easy to read
- Raymond Chandler – The Big Sleep, Farewell, My Lovely and The Long Goodbye but mostly for his style of prose
-
C.S. Forester – For the Horatio Hornblower novels, The African Queen, The Gun and all his other novels I’ve read (which is most of them)
-
Wilfred Owen – The only poet to make the list. His work is still so moving almost 100 years after his tragic death
-
Dumas – For the swash and buckle of D’Artagnan Romances and The Count of Monte Cristo
-
Alistair MacLean – For all his thrillers and adventure novels
-
Terry Pratchett – For being funny, clever and prolific
-
Ian Fleming – For Bond but particularly the short stories and novella which tell you more about Bond than many of the novels
-
Nevil Shute – For Slide Rule and A Town Like Alice
