J. K. Rowling. Most SUCCESSFUL writer and she knows how to write. Richest woman in the world, too. Not often a writer achieves that status.

Umberto Eco and Gunter Grass come to my mind.
I'm sure there are others I would like to compare him with, but all the authors I come up with seem to be dead.

Salmen Rushdie is who I would vote for but very controversial.

Terry Pratchett. He is the epitome of awesome. In fact, Awesome is probably his middle name.
