I am surprised no one has mentioned Dostoevsky, but I do not read enough to know if he truly good by comparison (I should say some translations wildly vary, including a recent one that - The Brother Karamazov - which is even funny). Besides what your favorite author is, can anyone tell me who the most talented author is/should be?
I don't have very many, but if I had to pick one...
Drew Karpyshyn, the man who created the Mass Effect universe; a massive influence on some of my work in class.
No, he didn't. Even if he did it doesn't say anything about Nieztsche himself or his writing, just as Wagner's The Ride of the Walkyries didn't worsen after it was made the Nazi theme tune." @Elston: Have you read Nietzche! Ow! Auh! I can barely think about it; he only inspired Hitler.
