Lawrence Block, Andrew Vachss, James Ellroy, Bernard Cornwell, A. J. Quinnell. Can't remember the others, but I mainly read crime thrillers. A little later I became obsessed with sci-fi, and then when I was 18 or 19 I started reading mainly literary fiction.

Friendly reminder that unless you either kill yourself or go under some cryogenic procedure (which is analog to suicide) this very minute, you will continue to age from this very second, to the next, and so on... until eventually you'll reach 30.

That's what's so funny about time and aging. Nobody is exempt. Not even bratty trolls.

Clive Cussler for all three.
I first read a book of his at 11.
Now I have 5 hard covers, 30 paperbacks, and most of the rest in digital format.

Hasn't been a favorite author of mine since I was about 16 though. Still like them.
