Huge Stephen King fan. I've knocked out It, Desperation, Dolores Claiborne, The Plant, and Just After Sunset since Christmas. I am currently reading Cell. Some of Michael Crichton's stuff is good too.

Of those, I went with Stephen King. His non-horror work is very good (I'm thinking of the Green Mile).

Although he just passed away, I'm a huge fan of Michael Crichton. I have also read a majority of John Grisham's books.

Michael Chabon is the greatest American author working today.
Hands down.

Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite. There are too many good ones though. I'd also add:
Bob Woodward
Noam Chomsky
Dan Brown
Khaled Hosseini
Tom Rob Smith (only wrote two books but I loved them both)
Max Brooks

Out of that list I like Stephen King the most, I am about to start reading Under the Dome. John Grisham has a lot of really good books, but his last few have been pretty bad.
A few others i like: James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Harlen Coben, Tess Gerritson, Ted Dekkar

Dean Koontz, only because one of his new books is about a character with the same name as me.

Of those listed, I went with Dan Brown.
I'm also a fan of Chuck Palahniuk. Author of books like Fight Club and Choke.
