It looks like I'm off the list (perhaps #53?). Either way, Poets & Writers has a list of authors that inspire authors.
From the list...
Toni Morrison
A portrait of strength and beauty, the 1993 Nobel laureate writes utterly compelling novels about the whole arc of American experience.
Haruki Murakami (pictured above)
He consistently demonstrates how far the narrative form can bend and proves that a story with surrealist tendencies can be both moving and compelling.
Barack Obama
Let's never forget that our first African American president is also a best-selling author.
Tim O'Brien
In The Things They Carried, he gave us the ultimate meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling.
