The Magicians! of story-telling. Review on Ten Best Authors / Poets

Magicians are those who did magic tricks, and good magicians are those who make their audience believe that whatever they are performing is true, whether its true or not. Simply, these authors are the magicians, who created a world of imaginary fictions, where all of them specialized in one or other genres, and created the fans all over the world. When the reader read their work, they felt like he is floating above the skies, and that's what called achievement. Here is my Top 10 Authors list.
