It is time once again to take a look at the authors I have read the most, dating back to high school. This year, I’m once again on pace to set a new record for books read in a year, so I thought it would be nice to take a deeper dive into those books I’ve read through August of this year. Since our last check-in, I’ve read an additional 114 books, so there should be some movement over the past two years. Without further ado, it’s time to take another look and see if my “favorite” authors have changed much over the years. We begin today with the 40 authors I’ve read two times, one fewer than two years ago.
Laura Caldwell
I have no idea how I came across the work of this local author, but I must have enjoyed it enough to go back for seconds. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2020, leaving behind a back catalog of fourteen novels and two non-fiction books.
Michael Chabon
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, the most recent of the two works of his I’ve read. I have another, Wonder Boys, waiting in the to read pile, so he rise up some day.
Matthew V. Clemens
The co-author, with Max Allan Collins, of the final two chapters of the Reeder and Rogers trilogy.
Ready Player Two – Ernest Cline
Ernest Cline
The man responsible for both Ready Player One and Ready Player Two.
Bill Clinton
The former president has co-written two novels with James Patterson.
Michael Connelly
The creator of Harry Bosch makes his first appearance thanks to his Renée Ballard spin-off series.
Laura Dave
I read my second novel from her, The Night We Lost Him, earlier this year.
Felicia Day
The first author here that I’ve happened to meet in person.
Cameron Dokey
She makes the list based on two entries in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
Warren Ellis
The comic writer, currently in exile after being called out for abusing women, makes the list thanks to two prose novels.
