Is it Shakespeare for the all-time list? Is it Czelaw Mislosz for the post 1900? Is the Pulitzer or Booker or what else more honoured? Pls give your comments no matter where you come from (eg. England, US, China, Japan, India, Poland, Germany, Africa etc.)

I think the 20th century has had a lot of great writters. I am not so much for poetry but I have enjoyed authors such as, EM Forester, Stephen King, Barnard Cornwall, CS Lewis, JRR Tolken, JD Salinger. There have been a lot of great works written in the last 106 years.

There are many great writers who I like...Jack London, Dostoevsky, Virginia Woolf, and many more. But my favorite writer is Thomas Hardy.
