Way back in December of 2011 (and again every other December since), we’ve taken a look at the authors I have read the most, dating back to high school. This year, since I’ve far surpassed my reading output of any year on record, I thought it would be nice to take a deeper dive into those books I’ve read through August. Since our last check-in, I’ve read an additional 60 books from 54 different authors. There shouldn’t be much movement over the past 2 years, but it’s time to take another look and see if my “favorite” authors have changed much in that time span. Today, we start things off with the 35 authors I’ve read twice.
Max Barry
An Australian author, I’ve enjoyed the two novels of his I’ve read, Jennifer Government and Company.
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 last year.
The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay – Michael Chabon
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.
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.
Diane Duane
Living in Ireland, she is responsible for a Star Trek: The Next Generation book and a Spider-Man novel, of all things.
Warren Ellis
The comic writer, currently in exile after being called out for abusing women, makes the list thanks to two prose novels.
