Author: Most Read...

[-Carlos-]

Which one author have you read the most?

I hope I phrased that question correctly.

I hate to say it because it makes me sound like a raving fangirl when I say it (and I am most certainly not), but the author whose books I have read the most of has been Stephen King. I tapered off when it came to his books after Hearts In Atlantis, but I occasionally pick one up every now and then to give it a try.

After that it would probably be a toss-up between Clive Barker and Emmuska Orczy because I think I've read close to the same amount between the two of them.

I hope this is what you were meaning when you phrased your question.

Yes it is, thank you.

 

[Fantasy Moon]

Yes it is, thank you.

Now that I have discovered Lynn Kurland, she has the potential to surpass Stephen King if given a little bit of time.

I hate to say it...but the author whose books I have read the most of has been Stephen King.

Oh, I can soooo beat that. When I was a teenager, I read every one of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern books...multiple times. I was so obsessed that people still give me her latest Pern books as soon as they come out, even though I haven't actually read any of them in almost a decade.

I was really into Brian Jacques' Redwall series when I was younger, and now that I think about it, years later he's probably still the author I've read the most. Holly Lisle is a pretty close second, though.

 

[Peronel]

King for me too.

 

[Stewart]

Probably Enid Blyton. But that was years ago.

Sure it was...

 

[Ice]

Probably Enid Blyton. But that was years ago.

Same here - I used to read a lot of Enid Blyton whenI was younger

For me it's Stephen King and Tom Clancy.

 

[unKeMPt]

Philip Roth

 

[Choc]

James Herbert

Herbert's books have all had me enthralled from start to finish. In my opinion he is easily the leader in thriller writing.

i must say its a 3way tie between king koontz and john saul, mostly because when i was a teenager i read everything i could get my hands on of the three mentioned. in the last few years id have to say though, its probly anne rice and david morrell .

Enid Blyton for me too. The Secret Island was my favourite book for a long, long time, and I used to reread the Famous Five books like mad.

Have you read Saul's The Blackstone Chronicles?

 

[bluecaffeine]

Heehee, it has to be Ann M. Martin or Francine Pascal. All those Sweet Valley and Baby Sitter books when I was a kid.

 

[Fantasy Moon]

I also read an absurd amount of R.L. Stine books growing up. I always liked that novel Superstition that he wrote. I think I still have it somewhere around here...

 

[Maizara]

Oh yes, I read R.L. Stine lots too. Now that he's mentioned, I kind of miss reading his books. I should go and find them in the library!

Looking at the bookshelves, there's a shed load of King from when I was a nipper, but he has since been overtaken by Robert Rankin. There's a fair bit of Sherri S Tepper too, so she might be runner up, but I didn't do a count.
