The authors I like the most are Albert Camus, André Gide, J-P Sartre and Nathalie Sarraute.
The least : Dan Brown (I have yielded to the temptation to read his book after the religious debate)...a big mistake...lost time.

I like George Orwell's style the most since I read his "Animal Farm" for our external reading in an English course some 30 years ago in my college years, then I read "Nineteen Eighty-Four" with enjoyment and wonder how he foresaw/envisioned to the future world of totalitarian regime of "Big Brother". His other novels and non-fiction books're also readable, understandable and challenging to all readers who care to enjoy how he wrote so well, so succinctly. His essays're also marvelous, a delight to read and ponder.
I think I like James Joyce's style the least since his "stream of consciousness" has been invented by some writers including William Faulkner. I keep wondering why his "Ulysses" is great, it's all right for those distinguished literary scholars but for general readers, it's another story. However, I'll try to wade in the 'stream' to see if I can read and appreciate anything.

I consider the sherlock holmes stories of arthur conan doyle are the best I have read. I have read all of the stories on holmes each more than 25 times....and though I know the story throughout, just the way each of them evolves towards the climax, is so enthralling that I read these over and over again

I adore Shakespeare's Style, and I also like Wilde's and Dan Brown styles.

Grisham and Crichton.
Since they have become famous, they have dispensed with their editors. Consequently, they use a whole page when a single sentence will do. It's called padding.
I no longer read either author.

I cannot stand Faulkner's loooong sentences. What I hate more are the people who obsess about him as if it makes them intelligent to spend half an hour to read one sentence.
