Authors who never miss for you

[Starson]

I'm surprised that two of my favorite authors were not mentioned:

Nelson DeMille
Ken Follett

I also some of the other authors mentioned like:

Robin Hobb
Daniel Silva
JK Rowling

Of course, every author mentioned above will have one book that is less than stellar, but I will always buy thier books without even reading the synopsis.

[Awesomov]

I've mostly read bits and pieces of a wide variety of authors, but of those whom I've read plenty of, the only two author I haven't read anything from that I haven't disliked overall are Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov.

Joe Abercrombie and Iain M Banks. Consistently awesome.

[Cirias]

Joe Abercrombie
Patrick Rothfuss
Tolkien (Of course)

Very few authors never miss for me.

I would have to go with Graham Masterton. Haven't been disappointed yet.
Carl Alves

Jorge Luis Borges. I think I've read all his fiction.

Umberto Eco would be a close second.

Apart from those two, I prefer to read authors I haven't read before.

Gwyneth Jones
Paul Park
Mary Gentle
Kim Stanley Robinson
Bruce Sterling

[CarlAlves]

I would go with Graham Masterton, Lisa Scottoline, Vince Flynn

Having now started Quicksilver I'm going to add Neal Stephenson to my list.

I have enjoyed every individual word Stephenson had ever wrote until REAMDE. That was just... wtf, Neal.

[CharlotteAshley]

Umberto Eco would be a close second.

Yes, Eco! But I also haven't read all his work yet! It's close - but not yet.

Others:

Robertson Davies. Love ALL his stuff. And can say so fro the authoritative position of having actually read it all.
Michael Chabon (Though I did not love Gentlemen of the Road)
Salman Rushdie - (though I didn't like Haroun and the Sea of Stories.)
Alexandre Dumas (Two Dianas was BORING but not him, in all likelihood.)
Mervyn Peake (cheating, I know.)
Philip Pullman
Frances Hardinge - so far!

See above about Neal Stephenson - I'm seriusly bitter about REAMDE. Betrayed.
