It depends, to keep it short:
From more of the classical guys it sure is Oscar Wilde, Dostoyevskij, Cechov later on it would be George Orwell.
I also always enjoyed reading Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammet.
From the more like modern authors I actually enjoyed Hubert Selby Jr. and some works of W.S.Borroughs, then I sure am a Rollins fan, liked also Lydia Lunch and read a lot about music. Not to forget my teen years were connected with Bukowski too..
I don't want to get into favorites of the super intellectuals such as Kafka, Sartre or Camus, although I did read them too, my assumption is, that they are so popular among intellectuals especially because anything they touched is open for a LOT and sometimes even pretty wild interpretations..
