ever, in your opinion? I'm not asking for your favorite, although I understand that will somewhat bias your opinion.
I believe it is Mark Twain. |

I think everyone has a different taste. I have too many to mention!
For fantasy - J.R.R. Tolkien and the Grimm Brothers For thriller - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child For mystery - Agatha Christie For Sci-Fi - George Lukas and Gene Roddenberry are only a few amongst my favorites but Mark Twain is surely a great writer. There is no denying that

F. Scott Fitzgerald. A great talent and a worthy choice. |

There is no denying that I said American.... Half of your list is European. |

I do not think many will argue that most of the great writers came from Europe. It is why I said America specifically....

You are right about that. I didn't pay attention about nationality at the moment.
There are simply so many great writers, but I am sure there are some who can mention one single author as their all time favorite. Unfortunately, I can't.

I like Ernest Hemingway for some strange reason. Not a lot of people like him. But I do.
