For this question I am less focused on content and more focused on WRITING STYLE. Which writers have the most AMAZING writing style?

I'll list a vew myself:
Kurt Vonnegut
Mark Twain
William S. Burroughs
Franz Kafka
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
James Joyce
Jonathan Swift
 
Ever read any of Bram Stoker's work? His writing style is brilliant in Dracula.
 
From a writing point, I actually find it more interesting to read writing which is less good. The problem with brilliant writing is that the style and techniques are near-invisible. I can't see the brush strokes, so I don't learn anything about the technique.

I learned a _lot_ about writing from reading Twilight, because it's at a level where I can say to myself, "That doesn't work. Why not? How could it have been done better?"
