Yes, it's hard to narrow it down! I'll list writers I love and what I read and re-read:
Aimee Bender (short stories)
Isaac Babel (short stories)
Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, The Elephant Vanishes)
Dostoyevsky (The Idiot)
Gogol (short stories)
Octavia Butler (Lilith's Brood)
Dashiell Hammett (The Continental Op)
Edward Eager (He wrote a series of children's books Half
Magic, and I really enjoy his writing style and story-telling voice.)
C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia!)
Bernardo Atxaga (Two Brothers)

Here are some books by my (no nepotism here ..... ) favorite author.
I took the author picture and got photo credit (boy was that cool) for Leaving Pico, which is about growing up in P-town. The picture was taken at the end of the town wharf. All but Pico are poetry, but he is working on a second novel.
I like Stephen King and Dean Koonz, too, but I'm not related to them.

He's the one that I contacted about 10 years ago and said "Hey, you have a sister." We've been close ever since ... as if we grew up together. He looks alot like me and my father. Someday I'll write it all down. It's too long to do now.

I loved Blind Assassin... but to be honest I really didn't like Handmaid's Tale nor Alias Grace. All of her other stuff (barring the most recent, which I haven't read yet) I have loved. And I've read it all. I swear. Even all of her poetry. I met her once, and saw her talk, and got about eight of my books signed. It was very cool.
I'm a big fan of unsentimental domestic fiction, which I think she specializes in... and to that end I also recommend Carol Sheilds, Marge Piercy, Anne Tyler, and Jane Smiley. I just finished Jane Smiley's The Greenlanders and loved it. I think my most favorite book ever is Horse Heaven which she wrote... I definitely recommend it.
