Anyone have a particular author that you like more than any other?
Who are they and why?Mine would be Terry Southern, who wrote the finest book of all time, The Magic Christian. I'm now reading the book Candy and could not stop cracking up at lunch. He also co-wrote Easy Rider.
Check out his stuff here, and on Amazon:

Great list. Just make sure you check out The Magic Christian.
I think my whole point in life is to be responsible for writing a new version of that book for the naughts.
