Stephen King. That's pretty much it. He's the only author I've really gotten into. I like to read, but I usually don't stick to certain authors. He's the exception.

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.

Dickens sounds familiar. Didn't he write the Xmas Carol?

Never heard of the other dude.
