I'm an avid reader of your fics, but I think this might be the first time I've commented in your journal.

Anyway, I've recently discovered Margaret Atwood, and particularly like A Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake. I'm also a big fan of Kim Stanley Robinson and highly recommend The Years of Rice and Salt, it's an alternate history type of plot. If you like historical fiction, anything by W. Michael and Kathleen Gear is very good, especially the Anasazi mystery series and the First North Americans series.

I could go on, but those are the first that come to mind.
