Authors meme

[kmusser]

Authors that I've read 10+ books by, in order of the number of books:

Piers Anthony (sort of embarrassing to admit)
Orson Scott Card
Terry Pratchett
Neil Gaiman
Robert Heinlein
Anne McCaffrey
Charles de Lint
Sheri S. Tepper
Anne Rice
Robert Anton Wilson
Ursula le Guin
Laurell K. Hamilton
Douglas Adams

Honorable mentions to:
Tom Robbins, who has only written 8, but I've read them all.
William Shakespeare, which if I counted the plays I've seen in addition to the ones I've actually read would be over 10.

In the process of doing this meme I rediscovered the awesome site that is http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/ - those of you into sci-fi/fantasy should check it out.

Douglas Adams wrote more than 10 books?

I counted the radio scripts as 1 :-)
If you include that and stuff he co-wrote he has about a dozen.

Piers Anthony graduated from my high school. I was friends with his niece. So of course, I had to read all his stuff. The question is, how old were ya when you read it?

I haven't picked one of his up since my early 20's. I gave all of my copies to my daughter, though, and she adores them.

I don't think I've read one since moving to DC, which was 7 years ago, but I was definitely still reading them through my 20's. There are many of his that I really like and would still recommend to folks - only embarrassed that he's first on my list, not that he's there at all.

You're embarrassed? I've read a dozen or so L. Ron Hubbard books (no, "Dianetics" was not one of them).

Asimov wrote more books than anyone else, and you haven't read ten of them?

Asimov I don't like all that much, heresy I know. I think I've read 6 of his.
