Orwell is a pretty good recommendation.

T.S. Eliot, who actually was an American originally, is pretty damn astonishingl good, if you can stomach poetry, as was Philip Larkin, among the somewhat modern guys.

You can also try Lord Jim or P.G. Wodehouse. Then there's Virginia Woolf, Edith Wharton, the Bronte sisters(I think they were all Brits). Who wrote Daisy Miller? Name slips my mind, probably because I hated his stuff, except for Daisy Miller, actually.

And there's always that Shakespeare dude. And James Joyce, if you want to count the Irish in with the Brits. And Rudyard Kipling.

Ian McEwan(I think his name is) is well-regarded and more recent.

I'm pretty lackluster on my knowledge of the Brits, but those aren't a bad place to start.

I'm not sure if V.S. Naipaul is normally considered a Brit or not.
