Kurt Vonnegut

Neil Gaiman
Cormac McCarthy
Salman Rushdie

Vonnegut, Gaiman, and McCarthy would certainly all make my list. I'd add Ludlum and King probably to round out my top five. But there's so many, I'm sure I'm missing some.

No idea who any of these people are.

I enjoy a good Mike Lupica column every now and then. Oh and Bill Simmons. He's hilarious.
