Armistead Maupin - Adored Author
I freaking love Tales of the City. Originally published in serial form in the SF Chronicle, these six books follow the adventures of a group of friends from the 1970s through the 1980s. Incredibly addictive. The first book was wonderfully adapted into a tv series, with great casting. I love the Maupin continues to write about these characters, most recently in Michael Tolliver Lives and Mary Ann in Autumn. I could read about these characters forever. I also loved The Night Listener, an excellent novel involving a writer and a sick boy who corresponds with him. Extremely suspenseful and heartrending. (However, not very light.)

Jane Austen - Adored Author
There's a reason that about every other book coming out is based on Jane Austen's work. Love Austen. Pride and Prejudice: The gold standard for all romantic comedy novels. Much more fun than you may remember! Filmed a number of times--the best with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Also love Persuasion, which is angsty and poignant and delicious. Also a great film with Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root. And of course, Emma, basis of my senior thesis. Mr. Knightley is a close second to Mr. Darcy in the Great Romantic Hero competition. Love!
