Wow! Well, I guess I can start a whole new list for everyone:

My list:

William Gibson
Stephen King
Jacqueline Carey
Diana L. Paxton
Dan Brown
S.P. Somtow
Anne McCaffrey
Casiel Mor
A.A. Attanasio
George R.R. Martin

My choices reflect only those authors of whom I have either:
A.) Complete series/trilogies
B.) More than three non-series books
C.) I've read the books/series more than once
D.) I love the author's work

My only gripe is...Only 10?? :)

Thanks for the list; it contains some new (to me) authors to investigate.

And I didn't invent the game...

Wow. Asimov, Heinlein and Douglas Adams.

We're cut from the same cloth.

Interesting post.
