basically authors you respect because they've produced amazing pieces of work and you recommend it heartily to others.
Maybe give a bit of a blur about the author and what genre of books they write.

Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka, Ovid, Terry Pratchett, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, John Steinbeck, David Eddings, David Mitchell and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Orwell, Tolkien, and C.S Lewis. I loved how Orwell described socialism in his books, as I agree with them obviously; Middle-earth is the most fully rationalized fictional world I've ever read about; and Lewis was a great debator, though his fictional works are kind of childish.

I love you.

Add to that:

Philip Pullman
Tolkien
Christopher Marlowe
John Milton
