I never get tired of:
Haruki Murakami

Loved Jack Kerouc's On the road, but haven't read any of his other books. He might be my future favorite. |

That book made me laugh so hard when I read it in bed that my parents would shout at me to shut up. |

Haruki Murakami
Although I reread Norwegian Wood recently and found it much worse this time around. It was never my fav book to begin with, though, I prefer the surrealist Windup Bird, Wild Sheep Chase and Hard Boled Wonderland...
David Mitchell is also worth a mention. Oh, and Irvin Welsh, back when I was fascinated by anything remotely related to the EDM scene. |

Wow, so I'm not alone. Haruki Murakami as well. I can't wait for 1984/1Q84 ! Sadly, it'll be at least another year until the english translation is released.
Also, among my favorite authors are David Foster Wallace and Vladimir Nabokov. |
