I'm surprised nobodys mentioned Tolkien considering how long he's lasted already.

I think most of us, including myself, would be hard pressed to come up with anyone pre-19th century.

But I would say:

Toni Morrison
John Updike
James Baldwin
Mark Twain
William Faulkner
James Joyce

Sorry, I had trouble getting the list down to six authors.

I'm pretty sure Stephen King should get an honorable mention

Poll shall include:

Tolkien
Vonnegut
Stephen King (he was nominated twice)
Irving
Murakami
Dr. Seuss (it could happen)
Toni Morrison
John Updike
James Baldwin
Mark Twain
William Faulkner
James Joyce
Asimov

I wanted to add Melville but I guess he doesn't qualify since it's been a little over a hundred years since his passing. I'll add any other suggestions.
