I agree about Stephen King. Not read anything by Dean Koontz, but obviously seen his work whilst browsing.
I don't think I have a particularly favourite writer, although I do really enjoy reading Issac Asimov, Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut.
All for different reasons, also. Asimov's creativity in science fiction draws me in more than any other, I think. Like King, his work is easy to read without bordering on complicated (maybe someone can prove me wrong but I have yet to come across one!).
I recently read Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut and didn't really 'get it' considering how popular it is amongst his followers. I believe he rates it as one of his worst...?! Similarly, Mother Night was a more enjoyable read for me, as well as his short stories in Welcome to the Monkey House and Breakfast of Champions. I really admire Vonnegut's wacky tales and in person, he sounded even more amusing.
