Famous Authors
Here is a very short list of the most prolific and popular authors around, along with the titles they've produced. If you're stocking your library, you should try to have something by each of these people. This list includes only authors I have read, and there are certainly more out there that would qualify for this list.
Kosuko Fujishima
Fujishima's light, romantic, but complex style fits her storylines, which are more romantic than comedy.
