JK2006 Rowling is also in my top 20. Philip Pullman in my top ten.

Would J K Rowling not immediately spring to mind?

Or do sales figures not matter?

JK2006 Certainly a worthy contender!
veritas Le Carre is good but Alan Bennett is Britain's greatest living writer.
The Fat Controller There's a thing. I didn't know he was still living. I think I have to agree, not being able to think of any other that has contributed so much to literature still alive. I speak as someone who has met Martin Amis. Another great novelist but someone whom has always lived in the shadow of his father.
