Favorite Author?

If you had to read just one person's books for the rest of your life, who would it be?

For me it would probably be Chuck Palahniuk, barely edging out Swift and Poe.

Chuck Palahniuk is just trying a bit too hard lately for me.
For me, it would be Neil Gaiman. Douglas Adams, if he had lived long enough to write more.

Tom Clancey.

I read all the heavyweights when I was younger.

I'm into escapism now.

I really like Steinbeck, actually. My fav is Cannery Row. His writing style can be a little repetitive from one book to the next, but it's very distinctive. I like the story telling style he uses.

Chuck Palanhiuk was good, but I've read some weird weird weird stuff by him that I wasn't into. He has some pretty innovative ideas for novels, though. Has anyone read "Choke"?
