Which author have you read more than any other?

[LaceandChintz]

I'll start!
Enid Blyton, without a doubt. And still the author who instilled a love of reading, whose books I devoured, and have loved as much all over again reading them to my own children.

As an adult, I guess it's Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine.

Over to you...

The only crime author I can actually read.

Robert Heinelein probably.

Stephen King or Ian Rankin.

Yes to Enid Blyton, I must have read hundreds!

In adult years, I’ve read everything Maggie O’Farrell has written.

Patricia cornwell, jonathon kellerman, Anne holt

This is a good way of throwing out some new authors for me to check out. Thanks!

Adam croft and Martina Cole!

Lots of enid blyton as a child. Then agatha christie, some stephen king as a young adult.
Years rereading different authors, like ruth rendell, barbara vine, pd james , susan hill's serralier detective series.
Also iris murdoch, margaret drabble, patricia highsmith,
Now revisiting stephen king again

Linwood Barclay, Harlen Coben, Jodi Picoult, Kate Morton, Helen Forrester, Lucinda Riley. If I like a book I usually try and get hold of others by the same author.

Yes, definitely Enid Blyton.
As an adult, probably Agatha Christie. Then Terry Pratchett and Isaac Asimov. Mainly because they wrote so many books - I have other authors that I have read every book they wrote and if they wrote more books I would read them, but they are not keeping up with my demand! I have read every Rebus novel.

Terry Pratchett

Roddy Doyle and Irvine Welsh.

BevBrook agree! Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine so prolific and I read all her stuff. But other authors I love and have read all they've written (Jonathan Coe for one) but they just haven't written so much!

Also Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine for me too. Last year I read all of the Wexford books (again) in order. Lovely man.
Asta’s book is my favourite of hers.

I was a huge Blyton fan as a child too.

Wasn’t allowed to read Enid Blyton (too wicked and depraved). Read Nancy Drew on the sly though. Loads of those!

As an adult, Faye Kellerman, Marian Keyes, and I’m sure there are more sophisticated ones if I thought really hard!!

Ian McEwan. I've read eight of his books so I'm quite a fan.

Jodie Picoult
Lisa Jewell
Kate Atkinson
Maggie O'Farrell
Claire Macintosh

As a kid, Enid Blyton for sure... Growing up would have been RL Stine (point horror anyone) Dean Koontz or Stephen King. Consistently throughout life... Terry Pratchett without a shadow of a doubt.

Also grew up on Enid Blyton

As an adult, James Patterson, Maeve Binchley, Neville’s Shute, jolly Cooper. John Grisham etc.

I tend to,alternate between a thriller/action book, and lighter chick lit type book.

Georgette Heyer... I've read her books over and over and over again!

Val Mcdermid

As a child Enid Blyton, K.M Peyton, Agatha Christie
Adult Mary Wesley, Kate Atkinson

Oh yes Maeve Binchey. Such lovely books.
