John Steinbeck, by leaps and bounds, is my favorite author. East of Eden is the greatest book of all time.
As far as contemporary stuff goes--love me some Michael Chabon. Wonderboys, Mysteries of Pittsburgh, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay are fantastic.
Charles Dickens (Chucky D), Tolstoy, Hugo, Dostoyevsky. 'Nuff Said.
Frank McCourt. King of the Memoir.
George R. R. Martin wrote (is writing) A Song of Ice and Fire, the most sweeping, complex, compelling, and epic series in modern fiction, maybe ever.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
