Am reading Dickens again.... Tale of Two Cities - A master story teller. My personal favourite is Great Expectations - Havisham, Estella!

Re: Who is your writer's writer?
I’m going to bypass the obvious masters and mention some more modern writers, since I am no longer stimulated to write by reading the classics or even the early 20th century literary innovators. That said, here is a short list of authors whose work not only gooses my muse, but often makes me angry, because I know I can never come close to their literary talents:
John Irving
Philip Roth
Tom Robbins
Paul Theroux
Nick Hornby
Christopher Moore
Douglas Adams
Christopher Buckley
