#10authors5bookseach — Public Fediverse posts

@davidsuculum - It's depressing to me that I can't do it without including SF. I tried.

I read Proust's Remembrance of Things Past in the form of multiple separate volumes... does that count?

Fresh on my #blog — Ten authors, five books
#10authors5bookseach
thomasrigby.com/posts/ten-authors-five-books/

I really liked the idea of #10Authors5BooksEach when I came across it on here a couple of weeks ago. So much so that I made the list of the authors I’ve most recently read a 5th book by a permanent part of my #books reading records on my website: https://nocto.com/books/5-book-club/

The count is currently 64 authors where I’ve read at least 5 books by each of them. I wrote a #BlogPost to introduce it too: https://nocto.com/posts/5-book-club/

#10Authors5BooksEach
Kim Stanley Robinson
Patrick O'Brian
Gene Wolfe
Ursula K Le Guin
Charles Dickens
Ray Bradbury
John Le Carré
John Crowley
Terry Pratchett
Steven Brust

Plus J R R Tolkien, C S Lewis, Harlan Ellison, Lois McMaster Bujold, Iain Banks, George R R Martin, Connie Willis, Mark Twain, P G Wodehouse, Guy Gavriel Kay

#10authors5bookseach Took a bit to shake loose from the old gray cells, but I finally came up with a list.

Erle Stanley Gardner
Rex Stout
John Creasey
Colin Dexter
Lawrence Block
M.C. Beaton
Sue Grafton
Francis Durbridge
Dorothy Gilman

Late to the party as usual…

had to add some additional criteria to narrow it down, otherwise I'd have spent ages agonizing over who to leave out. Even with additional criteria, I still had to leave out a lot.

#10Authors5BooksEach ? Too many to choose from! But looking through those whose books I own in my bookshelves...

- Ann Leckie
- George R. R. Martin
- China Miéville
- Samantha Shannon
- Ursula K. Le Guin
- Terry Pratchett
- Kim Stanley Robinson
- Alan Moore
- Grant Morrison
- Dava Sobel

Slightly more SFF than my average reading is weighted towards, but authors in that genre do tend to pump out a lot of books.

#10authors5bookseach

* Isaac Asimov
* Arthur C Clarke
* Terry Pratchett
* Dan Brown
* David Feintuch
* Ian Rankin
* Ian M Banks
* Elizabeth Moon
* China Mieville
* Alistair Reynolds

I hope somebody is going to summarize all the responses!

#10Authors5BooksEach #TenBooks #books #reading

#10authors5bookseach All of the authors I’ve chosen are very commercially popular authors. Many authors that came to mind, came in at the 4 book mark (regarding actual books read), 5 or more books read by a single author was an interesting thing to think about.

• Stephen King (a favorite pure and simple)
• Scott Turow (my favorite legal writer)
• Elin Hilderbrand
• John Grisham
• Dan Brown
• Dorothea Benton Frank (favorite southern beach writer)
• Nelson DeMille
• Ann Rule (favorite true crime author)
• Anne Tyler (the gateway to my love for the stories about ordinary people)
• Danielle Steel (in high school)
• Dean Koontz (in high school)
