Is it cliche to say Stephen King? Well, he is. The man never fails & never lets me down. And he can write the hell (sometimes literally) out of anything. I'm also a big fan of his son Joe Hill. I love his contemporary outlook and writing style. And he remains true to the horror genre, which I love. Justin Cronin kicks ass, too. But given my personal writing interests (I'm a huge fan of the literary genre--vague and sweeping as it is), here are some authors I can't go without:

Kent Haruf (sadly, he passed)
Lee Martin
Leif Enger (So Brave, Young, and Handsome shows his ability to simply write a straight-up story--check it out)

Everything. But I never read a book twice. Far too many great reads waiting and not enough time to read them all.
