My favorite favorite has to be Stephen King. Nobody beats the KING. But afher him theres Neil Gaimen, Tess Gerritsen, Lee Child, R.L Stine, and Joe Hill
Terry Pratchett. I was going to say someone else, but I’ve read 3 of all of my other beloved authors’ books and I’ve read 33 of Terry Pratchett’s books.
@Margaret Right? I would feel so proud of myself if I wrote a solitary, coherent novel. Meanwhile, Discworld alone is 41 really good books! (I’m assuming the 10 I haven’t read yet are good.)
@Jem, yeah! I both admire and am in awe of artists/writers/musicians who create such huge quantities of stuff. HOW DO THEY DO IT? I haven’t read many Discworld but have loved what I did read (Hogfather particularly), and I do especially like Good Omens which he wrote with Neil Gaiman.
So hard to choose. For the longest time it was Jean Auel because I am in love with the earth children series and reread them every few years but there are so many great authors out there!
I am a big King fan. I’ve been reading him since I was 13 and I can mark important times in my life by which King book I was reading. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but to me, he’s everything. ?
Daphne DuMaurier wrote about England in the thirties I think. She wrote Rebecca which is considered a classic It’s on a list of 50 books you should read before you die. Anita Shreve mostly writes in the somewhat modern era. The Pilots wild is amp out the pilot husband leading two lives. Fortunes Rock is in the 1920s I believe. Eden Close. Strange Fits of Passion, and Where or When is more in the modern era. Some of the best books I have ever read?
