J.D Salinger's prose, while self concious(purposely) is magnificent. I recommend Franny and Zooey.
Jack Kerouac had a scattered prose style all to himself. On the Road.
George Orwell's travel writing and fiction is amazing. Homage to Catalonia or Down and Out in Paris and London.
I can't think of a fourth of fifth right now, but there's a few to get the motor running.
And oh man is Ayn Rand's writing bad. Still, I used to worship her. Only because she worshipped young men in turn.
