Peter F. Hamilton is my favourite writer, his books are inventive and insightful into a full view of various possibilities and futures, whilst not being too farfetched. He does pressure himself into writing for long hours sometimes, though.

I've read the Night's Dawn Trilogy, and am currently reading the Commonwealth Saga.

J.R.R Tolkien comes a close second, I think
