His politics got worse as he got older, but the early works by Mario Vargas Llosa are some of my favorite things I've ever read. The green house, the time of the hero (la ciudad y los perros), and conversation in the cathedral.

I would have separated anglo and latin america for this queation, since you are doing sonmany posts anyways. Also you forgot Antartica. My favourite Penguin autor wants a shout out to
As for author from anglo america I would go with Christopher Paulini, not because his work is so good but much rather because he inspired me quite a lot: He wrote Eragon when he was like 16 or so. And I read Eragon when I was 14 or so and he really inspired me because I also enjoy writting.

I agree with another comment about separating Anglo authors from others. My favorite Anglo author is Cormac McCarthy. I feel self-conscious as he's a white man who writes manly stories about white men, but his style is hypnotic to read. He uses obscure words that I've never heard before, but somehow I know what they mean because it flows so well.

Agreed on his politics, yuck. Such a shame.
