Who is ur favourite (fiction)book writter

Sidney Sheldon

No particular order, just a quick list, weighted towards the guys who write more. Every time I write a list like this I think of half a dozen other authors who should be on it. Plus can you really compare a guy whose works you read in its entirety at 15 with one you read last week? R.A. Heinlein Frank Herbert H. Beam Piper (as always he's free on project gutenberg!) William Gibson Poul Anderson Ursala le Guin David Brin (halfway through Kiln people today, so he gets a rare mention) Joe Haldeman Robert Silverberg (another guy I don't plug enough) Cordwainer Smith (another guy i don't see mentioned)

I've recently been reading a lot more non-fiction so I don't really know who my favorite author is.
