John le Carre - Britain's greatest living writer? 13 Years, 7 Months ago
He is for me - since Graham Greene died. I've got his new novel arriving on pre order from Amazon though I still have to finish Gerry Seymour's latest (one of my other faves) and, of course, the six Booker finalists are sitting here gazing at me...

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.

Le Carre is good but Alan Bennett is Britain's greatest living writer. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Rowling is also in my top 20. Philip Pullman in my top ten. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
