Are there any Authors that compel you to read every book ever written by them!
When I find an author that I enjoy I always read every single book they’ve written.
Anne Tyler, Larry Mc Murtry, Anne Lamott
Definitely yes. Mark Billingham, Stuart macbride, karin Slaughter, Simon kernick, shani struthers to name a few 😉
Waiting for Jenna Blum’s new book this spring!
Barbara Kingsolver, I would follow her anywhere!!

Same! Including his early books, like The 158 Pound Marriage which is depressing as heck. He is a master at character development!
Nope, I gave up after The Fourth Hand.
That was a weird one… But last night in twisted river and until I find you were great

Austen! Well, except for that one book “Lady Susan” which was just… blah, I read all her books as well.
N.E Connelly her witch for hire series that she is working on is basically what I live for now. I’m forever awaiting her next story. Even her mini stories. I’m addicted to reading everything she writes.
Stephens King, Terry Pratchett, Alice Walker.

Lisa Genovise
Kristin Hannah
Barbara Taylor Bradford ice read almost all her books
Colleen Hoover, Celeste Ng

Once I’ve tried to read all of Paul Auster but that made me realize his “formula” (every author does it) so I’ve lost interest on later works except now for “4321” which characteristically, he wrote after a review pointed the similar structure of his novels…

Molly Ivins is only non fiction, Anna Quindlen writes both.
I like science, history,biography
Rebecca – have you read Mary Roach? I have not read all of hers, but she has a very direct and entertaining way of looking at science.

I loved early JLB books set in New Iberia, but I sensed a real change in his writing/outlook after Katrina – did you feel it too? The books just seemed to get darker and more pessimistic to me. Have never really been able to get into his other series, maybe because I’ve been to New Iberia, but not the other locations.
Louise Penny.
Harry Sinclair Lewis. 1885 – 1951
Lewis’s work resonates down through the decades. I just finished Elmer Gantry, a prescient 1920s personality sketch of our current president. Elmer had visions of ruling the world too.
I’ve only read a couple of Anne Tyler’s books, but I’m fascinated with her ability to write metaphorically – to make each sentence meaningful to the atmosphere of the story.
Barbara Kingsolver, Maya Angelou, Fannie Flagg, Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway
Barbara Kingsolver and Fannie Flagg are 2 of my favorites.

Good man, Matt!
@Julie what’s your favorite of his works?
@Matt He’s an acquaintance from before he got picked up by commercial publishers… I really got into his GFL (Rookie) series (and I’m not remotely a football fan) when he first released it as a serialized podiobook – I haven’t read everything he has out, I think the last one I read was in the Infected thread.
@Julie oh that’s awesome! I started listening to him on podiobooks too.
A bunch of my local-ish (Balticon related) friends are old podcasters and that’s how I found him.
Virginia andrews
Picoult and Berg.
Louise Erdrich
Pamela Samuels Young and Rachel Howzell Hall
I researched your recommendations… sounds good for me. Do you have any recommendations for my 14 yo mocha girl granddaughter?
What does she like?
She stopped reading about a year ago… trying to fire her up again. She loved Fault in our Stars.
Agatha Cristie
I must say, we are a very well-read group. This string is amazing!
I made an authors to read list!
