I have even enjoyed J.K. Rowling and even A.A. Milne.

J.R.R. Tolkien, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Piers Anthony, Alan Dean Foster, Anne McCaffrey and others in the fantasy and scifi genre, but they were geared more toward adults.

Burroughs if anyone doesn't know wrote the original Tarzan, and wrote a SciFi series known as the Barsoom series.

Shakespeare (goodness, how was he neglected?)
Cervantes
Arthur C. Clark
Dickens
Faulkner
Goethe
Robert Heinlein
Frank Herbert
Ibsen
James Joyce
Kafka
Stephen King
Dean Kuntz
Milton
Proust
Samuel Johnson
Tolstoy
Roger Zelazny

And, of course, the number one book of all time, the Bible.
