There is something about Kafkas writing that terrifies me.
There are so many times where my anxiety carries over to my dreams, and I am stuck in some bizzare situation where it seems like every body is against me and I am caught in a hurricane of stress and lonelyness. Kafka is the only author who has been able to replicate the way I feel in those dreams.

I'll add Winston Groom on the book "Forrest Gump" .Even if the movie had not been made.
Maybe the best book I've read.I read it years before the movie and wondered how they were going to turn the book I'd read into a movie.
It's a lot different than the movie in that all his adventures are more out there.
I highly recommend it.

Bukowski - Such a genius in the manner he could encapsulate the daily horrors (and comedy) of life for the common man. Oddly endearing and easy to read
This. I love his frank, matter of fact style of prose. It flow so easily but at the same time has quotes sprinkled in that make you just set the book down on your lap and marvel for a few moments.

Seems to be a lot of writers listed here that were mandatory reading from either high school or college.
A lot of people assumed that's what the question meant (even though it wasn't stipulated in the OP). My mind went straight there.
Plus even most diehard readers probably don't have five modern authors who produced enough great work to be on the list. The canonical authors are there for a reason, so they're going to take at least one spot for most people.
