Not hating on your taste but it seriously looks like you just listed the only five famous authors you know.

>> No.2701743

Off the top of my head

Chandler
Vonnegut
Steinbeck
Mark Helprin
Bradbury (maybe just cause I'm still sad)

If I thought more it might change, but also might not.

I hear you OP
>Team Britain still?
China Mieville
Emily Brontë
George Orwell
Terry Pratchett
Philip Larkin

>> No.2701751

Hemingway, Updike, Tobias Wolff are the only authors whose work I have read the majority of. I normally read one or two books by an author and only come back to them if I found it really stand out.

>> No.2701785

R.Chambers, G.MacDonald, A.Moore, M.Moorcock and van Vogt.
And, equally, D. Adams, D.Alighieri, J. Campbell, J.Conrad, J. Borges, A.Bierce, G.Frazer, H.Hesse, P.Larkin, T.Ligotti, J.Milton, G.Morrison, R.Nelson, P.Pullman, B.Sira, T.Stoppard, H.Thoreau, J.Joyce, M.Twain, H.Wells, O.Wilde, J.Wyndham, all those you mention and more whose names escape me at this moment in time, frankly fuck your question there aren't enough characters allowed in this box to list everyone who deserves a mention.
