I'm still trying to find every Patricia Highsmith ever published. Some of them are hard to get and none are available as ebooks. If you haven't tried her, I'd recommend any of her books. Suspense, readability, bizarreness. If you like that sort of thing.

I'm gonna have to go a little old school with part of my answer:
Ernest Hemingway Jane Austen Kurt Vonnegut Edgar Allan Poe Agatha Christie Then of course, more contemporary people: L.J. Smith Amanda Hocking *YAY for self-publishing* Malorie Blackman I'm sure there are tons more but these are my absolute faves |

Long time lurker here...
After seeing many peoples great lists, and having seen a lot of great authors mentioned, one really stood out to me as deserving to also be in this thread: Gene Wolfe |

funny enough, 2 MR authors: Slava Heretz and Christopher Kellen. i just really dig what they're doing.
BV Larson's Star Force series and thats honestly about it. i don't religiously follow any author and i just end up buying whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. |
