Aldous Huxley is another favorite, as well as George Orwell, Tom Robbins, Tom Wolfe, Kurt Vonnegut. It's difficult to narrow it down to just one favorite, but I enjoy anybody who can add a little bit of humor to every day life, and also anybody who can consistently put out a good book... as in, if I pick up a book by that specific author, I have no doubt that it will be good.

Named some great ones,
Huxley's "End of the civilisation" is something I like to applicate to the everyday's social contact - like those artificial yoppies to be the beta and white trash to be the delta etc.
Orwell - besides the eternal "Animal Farm" and "1984" I would also like to mention the, oh damn how was the book called, it was from the civil war in Spain and had Catalunia in title. Anyway - a great book showcasing his total disillusion and the mess he came through as well as the background of the conflict.
