Arthur C. Clarke
Carlos Castenada
Anne McCaffrey (before she went nuts writing sequels)

Mr Frey is a disgrace to good journalism and Oprah should, (and probably will) emasculate the bum. I haven't read his book but if it is full of lies as has been pointed out by the Smoking Gun and several others, it begs the question of whether or not he even wrote the thing or hired a ghost writer.
nice list! I don't know Anne McCaffrey, but i'm sure as hell gonna search her now.
The Journey to Ixtlan is a great book. But that's another Frey-case. Allegedly, Castenada didn't meet Don Juan, and derived his book from a lot of other books. That doesn't bother me. It's imagination. Unless someone really claims to have written a true story, the truthful ambiguity doesn't matter.
