Even though I work in a library, I've never been a big reader until just recently.
As of late, these are my favorites:

George Orwell (I just finished Animal Farm and I'm working my way through Nineteen Eighty-Four. Awesome books!)
C.S. Lewis (I've never read his story books, but I love The Screwtape Letters and his theological books he's written like Mere Christianity)
Ernest Hemingway (Tell me if this is weird...the book that got me back into reading heavily was actually The Sun Also Rises. It will probably be one of the ONLY books that I'll go back and read multiple times.)


On a side note, have any of you guys read some of the Gospels from a literary view? It's interesting to see the contrasts between the different writing styles and opinions of the different apostles, and see what their personalities were like.

Tolkien's my favourite. I really marvel at his genius in the Lord of the Rings, and all that he wrote relating to that world. The amount of effort he put into this imaginary world of his is truly incredible. Some other authors follow closely behind...Lewis, Austen, Gaskell, the Bronte sisters.

C.S. Lewis still tops my list and I've really enjoyed Henri Nouwen lately.
