From the classics I would probably have to say Oscar Wilde - probablythe most talented author in the history.
I am still saving some time for the old Russian school such as Dostojevskij or Cechov.
From the 20th century authors - that's tough, I could rather mention lots of novels but it's tough to name someone I would buy regularly.
Probably George Orwell would get my vote.
Hubert Selby Jr. would be my favourite contemporary author.
Then Lydia Lunch, Henry Rollins - but they are more like very exciting personalities, although they sure are talented.
I was also always a huge fan of Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler - they always crossed the border of the "crimi" genre and Chandler came up with the most incredible blurbs in the modern history.
