I'd like also to add a few Italian authors, in no particular order, to this list:

Alberto Moravia
Leonardo Sciascia
Gabriele d'Annunzio
Dino Buzzati
Stefano Benni
Luigi Pirandello
Antonio Fogazzaro
Giovannino Guareschi
Riccardo Bacchelli
Mario Rigoni Stern

An old favorite (admittedly in translation...)

One of his characters is going to make a cameo in the next Red adventure....

Let me add my 2-cents-worth. If I've duplicated someone else, please pardon me. Some of these may have also written in the 19th century, but that's part of the reason I believe they may still be read in the 22nd century.

Edith Wharton
L. Frank Baum
Thomas Mann
Thomas Wolfe
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Samuel Beckett
Hermann Hesse
Zane Grey
Sinclair Lewis
W. Somerset Maugham
Sylvia Plath
Sax Rohmer
Upton Sinclair
