Since I haven’t finished a book in a while (although I should get one done soon), I thought I would take a look back at the authors I have read the most. Since I started keeping track, I have read books by 181 different authors, but we will only be looking at those whom I have read more than once.
| Author Name | Total |
|---|---|
| Nancy Holder | 13 |
| Christopher Golden | 12 |
Most, if not all of these are due to Buffy and Angel tie-in novels.
| Greg Rucka | 11 |
| Stephen King | 9 |
Strange that these two are bunched together, as I have read all of Rucka’s non-tie-in work, and I haven’t read anything by King in years. That may change next year, though.
| Michael Jan Friedman | 8 |
Another author of tie-in novels, mostly Star Trek: TNG and Lois & Clark.
| Michael Crichton | 7 |
Just added to this total earlier this year.
| Peter David | 7 |
| Brad Meltzer | 7 |
Two comic writers, one whom I’ve focused on their Star Trek work and the other their straight novels.
| William Shatner | 5 |
Assuming, of course, that he really had anything to do with the novels attributed to his name.
| Scott Turow | 5 |
Another author who I used to read regularly and then moved away from until recently.
| Diane Carey | 4 |
| Diana G. Gallagher | 4 |
More tie-in novels.
| John Grisham | 4 |
| Jeffery Deaver | 4 |
| John R. Maxim | 3 |
Not sure why I stopped picking up Grisham’s work and Deaver I usually find in the remainder pile. I would like to read more from John R. Maxim, but can’t really find any.
| John Vornholt | 3 |
| Jeff Mariotte | 3 |
Another group of media tie-in novelists.
| Scott Adams | 3 |
Business books that double as Dilbert collections.
| Stieg Larsson | 3 |
Sadly, the only three that he wrote before his untimely death.
| Kevin J. Anderson | 3 |
| Timothy Zahn | 3 |
X-Files and Star Wars novels here, with Zahn giving us the post-Jedi sequels that George Lucas never will.
| David Fisher | 2 |
| Melissa Metz | 2 |
| Diane Duane | 2 |
| Keith R. A. DeCandido | 2 |
More writers of tie-in novels.
| Paul Reiser | 2 |
Written comedy back when I would read such a thing and enjoy it.
| Laura Caldwell | 2 |
| Max Barry | 2 |
Two completely different novelists that I enjoy for totally different reasons.
| Charles Grant | 2 |
| Richard Castle | 2 |
More TV tie-in novels.
| James Ellroy | 2 |
Safe to say 2 1/2 at this point.
| Kathy Reichs | 2 |
| Gillian Flynn | 2 |
Anxiously awaiting the next outing from Gillian Flynn.
| Jay Johnstone | 2 |
| Howard Weinstein | 2 |
| Thomas Harris | 2 |
| Howard Stern | 2 |
| Homer | 2 |
| Richard Roeper | 2 |
| Yvonne Navarro | 2 |
| Ron Luciano | 2 |
| Bill Carter | 2 |
| George Orwell | 2 |
