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...

Agatha Christie - read them all!
JK Rowling/Robert Galbraith

:) I do love a bit of Marge Binchy

Stephen king

Patricia Cornwell, Greg Isles and James Herbert

ooh, well
Agatha Christie and Georgette Heyer
but all of
Ngaio Marsh
Donna Leon
Peter Robinson
Dick Francis
Dorothy Dunnett
Bill Bryson...
erm I could go on -

As a child enid Blyton then the chalet school series.. Can't remember the author but there is about 100books.
Young adult Stephen King and James Herbet
But overall Margaret atwood.. Pretty much everything at least twice

Stephen King
James Herbert
and went through a brief but intense period of Alexander McCall Smith, good fun at the time but probably not longevity there.
John Steinbeck
Charles Dickens
William Shakespeare
George Orwell

Robert Heinelein probably.

He's in my top three.

Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Maive Binchy, Jojo Moyes plus more!

Lots of authors that I have read everything they have published but when it comes to Terry Pritchett I have read the vast majority of what he wrote and he wrote a lot.

Anthony Trollope
Lee Childs (Jack Reacher)

Stephen king

Enid Blyton
Judy Blume
Virginia Andrews

As an adult
Peter James
Martina Cole
Lynda La Plante
Lee Child

Margaret Atwood
Terry Pratchett

As a child roald Dahl, Enid blyton, and all the goosebumps books!

As an adult
Marian Keyes
Liane moriarty
Penny vincenzi
Margaret Atwood
Mark Edwards

And nearly finished all Kate Atkinson

@glasshalfsomething What’s your favourite Douglas Coupland? I was going to mention him but I haven’t read any of his more recent books. I used to buy them as they came out though. My favourites are Girlfriend in a Coma and The Gum Thief.

Also Enid Blyton.
Bill Bryson
Jilly Cooper
Jane Austin
Marian Keyes
Kate Atkinson
Jackie Collins

As a child CS Lewis
As a teenager Agatha Christie
As an adult Pat Barker.

Pat Barker is the only author I'm on the lookout for her new novels coming out.

Forgot Sophie Kinsella and also Mary Higgins Clark

Good question! As a child Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl.

As an adult, not so many where the author has been especially prolific, but authors where I’ve read a good proportion of what they’ve written, or sought out more of their writing,would include Roddy Doyle, Kate Atkinson, Sally Vickers, Elizabeth Strout, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Jane Howard. For non fiction Adam Phillips, Susie Orbach, Alison Bechdel, Joan Didion, Vivian Gornick, Elizabeth Gilbert, Diana Athill.

Another Blyton childhood here.

As an adult I have devoured nearly all the novels of:

Barbara Pym
Elizabeth Jane Howard
Margaret Atwood
Ian McEwan

Oh, and Donna Tartt. She’s easy to keep up with

Bizarrely Sophie Kinsella or Stephen King... Complete opposites ha
