Tolkien of course is number 1 in my mind. LOTR is fantastic, and is the only book I've read multiple times. The Simarillian was also a great look into the world Tolkien created, and of course the token Hobbit as well.
Secondly I'd have to go with Michael Crichton... Back in fourth grade I read Jurassic Park, and after that I read many other of his books. I think the only one I haven't read so far is Rising Sun. His most recent works, Timeline (movie coming out this month too) and Prey were top-notch. Even his more down to earth and dramatic "A Case of Need" was enjoyable for me.
