Seeing how I have more than one I'll name the best: Anne Bishop, Susan Cooper, Scott Westerfeld, D. J MacHale, Garth Nix, Eion Colfer and John Grisham. J. K Rowling would be one, but seeing how she's only written within the HP world, I can't really say.

My favorite new author is David Mitchell. I suggest you and every mother mufuh here start with 'Ghostwritten', and then blows a bunch of goats from there on out.
Cloud Atlas is incroyable, as the French would say. Incroyable!
If we are talking about favourite author of all time in the world ever, then we're probably talking about Joyce, aren't we? Well, we should be.
As for the f*ckwits mentioning Dan Brown, then your eyes should be ashamed of yourself.
