@Sh41 That's a tricky question. In my youth, I found Tolkien, Alan Dean Foster, and Lovecraft impressive. Today, I read more classics, from Kafka to Meville. I enjoy analyzing historical speeches, like Churchill's or Ciceros, and connecting them with my interest in history. I have no preference from a style perspective, as all epochs have their good (and bad). You like to read too? Whats your favorite?
