Stephen King
Alexandre Dumas
JK Rowling
And like Lewis said, RL Stine. I grew up reading the Goosebumps book and that's where I got my love of reading from.

I've never been able to get through a Hemingway novel.
For me: Cormac, George Martin, Rowling, Tolkien, Richard Adams

Clancy, Grisham, and Tolkien. Big fan of C.W. Lewis and G.R. Martin.
I also think JK Rowling's Harry Potter is very impressive work.

I've tried multiple times to get through Gravity's Rainbow and I just can't do it. Either the writing is too dense or I am...

Randy Wayne White - Doc Ford Series
Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt Series
Vince Flynn - Mitch Rapp Series
Mark Twain - All
W.E.B Griffin - The Corp & The Brotherhood of War, The rest I haven't gotten around to but intend to. Just need to be prepared to read around 8k pages in every series.

I'll second that on forgetting him. Huck Finn is great stuff.

Aside from the obvious ones (i.e. Faulkner) and classics, I enjoy southern, and in particular, Mississippi writers:
-S. Foote
-W. Percy
-W.A. Percy
-Eudora Welty
Not a Mississippi writer, but southern, nonetheless: R.P. Warren & Thomas Wolfe (of the southern literary renascence, not "Tom Wolfe).

No one w/ Pynchon on their list should be allowed to call other people's choices overrated.
