Not going to put any of the classics into it, I prefer not to try to claim that Tenneyson was better than Keats, etc.

So for modern writers....all spec fic...

1. George RR Martin
2. Steven Erikson (in the middle of the third book, he might flip to the top once I get further into the series)
3. Lois McMaster Bujold
4. Terry Pratchett
5. Robin Hobb
6. Frank Herbert
7. Robert Jordan
8. David B. Coe
9. Neal Stephenson
10. Brandon Sanderson (who just cracked into it on his first novel "Elantris". Still haven't go to Mistborn yet).
