I admire the reality of James Joyce and his works, but I read Ulysses and immediately afterward wanted a hug very badly.
Joseph Wambaugh for his first 5 and last 3 books is my favorite writer.
A good bit of chaff in that gap, though. The quality of the aforementioned 8 works is just too high, though; this guy went from an LAPD cop to a masterful novelist. I don't care if they don't teach him in schools, he's a treasure.
Also admire: Gibson, Dick, Vonnegut, Eco, Twain, Woolf, Flannery
O'Connor.
