The only one that's on my list is Terry Pratchett (I have books by some of the others, but they weren't on Schwa's list and aren't on mine). However, Mr. Pratchett's been removed and added from various peoples' lists along the line a couple of times ...
The author on my list that has the longest unbroken chain leading up to me is J.R.R. Tolkien, with my post making the chain nine links long, if I counted right.

Along with the Bork, Bennett, and O'Reilly flavors.
Unless they burned them after the research.
I guess having certain books on one's shelf doesn't mean one agrees with what they say.
