Directly inspired by conversations following Kurt Vonnegut's death:

Five Authors I Haven't Read

Toni Morrison - I want to, I even have at least one of her books on my shelf, so I intend to, I just haven't yet.
Terry Pratchett - The enthuiasm with which people - some in my extended family - rave about Pratchett, makes me think I really do need to rectify this gap in my reading.
John Irving - I have no interest in Irving's books, I'd probably like them, but I've never even checked one out of the library.
Carol Shields - Canadian! Female Author! Award Winning! - Again, I've got at least one of her books (Unless) - but have not yet read it.
Salman Rushdie - Rushdie is probably at the top of the I should read this, but haven't yet list.

...sorry, all I heard was Pratchett. You haven't read it? Seriously? I don't really have room to talk, though, as I haven't read any of the other authors on your list.

Consider yourself tagged.

No, I really haven't read Pratchett, and clearly I'll be down at the library remedying that in the morning.

Seconding rainjoyous' rec for Good Omens! It's a good place to start, either that or Guards! Guards!

Also, eep.
