James Fenimore Cooper.

Some scholars may dispute Cooper being classified as a Romantic, Victor Hugo pronounced him greater than the great master of modern romance.

That'll do I guess.

Kurt Vonnegut.

Not sure who he is but I did a bit of googlin' and some of his books have gotten some really good reviews. May have to check him out.

EDIT: I've just typed in All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

My result was P.G Wodehouse. Not even gonna bother checking him/her out because their novels must be crap but they do have an awesome name.

David Foster Wallace, apparently.. Tried it twice with a couple of paragraphs and got the same result

He killed himself in the end though so not too sure if it's a good thing
