My own favourites would include Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Chomsky, Henry James, Mark Twain.... oh and Catch 22 is one of my "best books"!!!

not quite on topic, but Catch 22 is one of my alltime favourite books ... when we were trying kitten names we tried Yossarian, Major Major and Major Duck (on a theme) but they just didn't quite suit him.

I'll get me coat now ...
