Ernest Hemingway
John Steinbeck
Sinclair Lewis
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Agatha Christie
Rudyard Kipling
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

And others whose names I can't think of right now. I have read their books so many times.

Do you know any modern authors whose works compare to these? Looking for something new.

Edit: I just saw the other thread about books. Will take a look there.
