The other day I mentioned that I started reading 'Radiant Star' by Ann Leckie and I realized I knew absolutely nothing about the book beyond its title, author, and that it was set in the Imperial Radch setting. It didn't matter because I would read anything by Leckie.
So, I throw a question out to you readers: If you were given a book with a plain white cover that said Untitled by "Author Name", what authors have earned the privilege of being read without question?

sarahscully@glammr.us 1 day ago @fskornia @bookstodon For living writers: Nick Hornby, Ruth Ozeki, probably Colson Whitehead though I haven’t read him as much.
fskornia@glammr.us 1 day ago You already know about Ann Leckie for me. The other author that I will absolutely read is Claire North. Time and time again, I have found that their writing matches that I like to read almost perfectly.
@fskornia @bookstodon Robin Hobb (also Megan Lindholm).
In the past, Anne McCaffrey, Diana Wynne Jones, and Douglas Adams, but they all died (rude).
