I don't know if this is a wise decision.

I read too much to pick one writer, so I will pick four:

Fiction: Fydor Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, Notes From Underground, The Idiot, Demons etc.)
History: David McCullough (John Adams, Truman, Mornings on Horseback, The Brooklyn Bridge etc.)
Sociology: Robert Putnam (Bowling Alone, Better Together)
Philosophy: Nietzsche (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Birth of Tragedy ect.)

These are my favorite writers because their books are all profound while being very enjoyable (a book can be profound and not be enjoyable!).

I hate to think that you guys only like Hunter S. Thompson cos his main subject is drugs. He's so much more interesting than that..

Fulghy.. I'm gonna go one step further than you and correct the spelling in the title. .cos it'll irritate me forever. For someone who is trying to talk about literature.. it's just shocking..

cheers
