[Rumckle]

1. This is tough, because a couple of my favourite books, are the author's only work (Harper Lee and Steven Hall). But for authors who wrote more than one novel, either Gaiman or Palahniuk.

2. Probably Coleridge, I don't read enough poetry.

3. I don't usually read non-fiction based on authors I just find recommendations and topics that I like. But if I had to pick; Karl Kruszelnicki.

4. Guilty pleasure reading? Matthew Reilly, that man knows how to write an action scene.

[Placid Dingo]

1. As far as having really enjoyed more than one book, Chuck Pahlanuik.
2. Poe, or Ogden Nash.
3. John Pilger.
4. Had trouble, but then Rumckle reminded me of Riley. I ended up being the only person in a literature class willing to defend the work. ('There's no character development!' 'Well, no, but... explosions!')

But there is character development, people go from being alive to being dead.
