Was thinking about the October Book Club and how wonderful Kazuo Ishiguro is, with his deep understanding of humanity and his ability to paint subtle pictures with words. I need to replace the books by him that I left behind in hostels.
Soooo.
Which authors would you unreservedly recommend to people?
Who do you love to read again and again?
Which authors do you think are consummate artists?

^Not this strongly^, but I do just about unreservedly recommend him to people. Definitely pick up The Chronoliths or Spin. His other books are incredible, but those are the best.

Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM*

R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve.
