Have you read all the books by any particular author(s)?

In other words, have you completed reading each book of an author’s bibliography? If so, which author(s)?
 
One more to go and I have read everything by William Gibson. Ditto for Anthony Bourdain.
 
After a little bit more thought i have more names:
Roald Dahl
Astrid Lindgren
Paul Auster
Albert Camus
Hemingway
 
Except for all the one-hit-wonders, no.

I usually set out to read them all, but one of two things always happens: Usually I get disenchanted by the author and have to stop. On rare occasions I enjoy the books so much I can't bear the thought of having nothing else by them to read, so I stop.
 
Philip K. Dick
Barbara Kingsolver
Walter Mosely
Louise Erdrich
Isaac Bashevis Singer
David Sedaris
Fay Weldon
John Mortimer
Philip Pullman, almost
and took a pretty good chunk out of Charles Dickens.
Oh - J. K. Rowling...yeah.
I also plan on reading all of P. G. Wodehouse and have made a fair start on it.



There are a couple more, but I've been reading for forty years and truly, I'll never remember everything I've read. Since having discovered the worldwide interweb, I've found a number of authors I'd like to read all of. Bet'chall thought someone else discovered the internet.:p
 
Everything I have been able to find by

George Eliot (except Romola)
John Le Carre
Tony Hillerman

and I'm working on Anthony Trollope
 
Damn, I've been trying to get Naked

It's not really all that difficult, just start with the buttons.

I can't recall which collection had in it a story called The Drama Bug but whichever it was, that is the funniest story known to mankind. I've said it a million times, I'll probably say it a million more. I love the ending which is just one last funny bit in a purely funny story.
 
I was about to say "Chuck Palahniuk", then I remembered he wrote a book about his homestate that I never read. So excluding authors such as Harper Lee and Elizabeth Kostova who have published one book only . . . then the answer is no.
 
Yes, by these authors:

Knut Hamsun
Hermann Hesse
Franz Kafka
Patrick White
George Orwell (including letters and non-fiction works)

I had actually read of all Hamsun's and Hesse's books by the time I was 17.

Dude, I set that up for you and that's the best you can come up with? :D

It's not in Me Talk Pretty One Day, which is the collection I have.
