I bow to the genius that is Bradbury in his niche but there are others in other fields that are close to him. Honetly Ray has a way with words that just floors me.
But I also like Lawrence Block,Joe Hilley,Mike Connelley,Linda Fairstein,James Lee Burke,Randy Wayne White and some others.
The only person who comes close to Ray's prose is John D. MacDonald but he is no longer with us.
His turn of phrase is just remarkable. He gets right to the point and -if you have never read his Travis McGee series start with The Deep Blue Goodbye. All 21 books are colors.

My friend Joel, he wrote this book Porcelain Doll, it has yet to be published, but it would give Ray Bradbury a run for his money. I f you would like you can E-mail me and I will ask him if I can send you a copy of it, the book is about 298 pages so it is an easy E-mail...

Chuck Palahniuk for his incredibly unique plots. But Ray Bradbury is amazing as well.

i think of you wish Lanark with the help of Alasdair gray. he's a Scottish author (from Glasgow, the place I stay) and it incredibly is a different novel some youthful guy suffering to interrupt out of his shell into existence and in assessment to the rest in fiction. i may additionally advise attempting Murakami (as yet another respondent did). And, in case you're keen to contemplate examining some performs (with the help of an author who has in basic terms in basic terms died), Harold Pinter (rather the early artwork) creates talk which few others can.

If you're talking about science fiction, then, all due respect to Ray, you'd have to say Arthur C. Clarke. In my opinion, even if you're not talking about SF, you'd still have to say Clarke.
