\"\"<\/a>Way back in December of\u00a02011<\/a>\u00a0(and again every other December since), we’ve taken a look at the authors I have read the most, dating back to high school.\u00a0 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\u2019ve read an additional 60 books from 54 different authors. There shouldn\u2019t be much movement over the past 2 years, but it\u2019s time to take another look and see if my \u201cfavorite\u201d authors have changed much in that time span.\u00a0 Today, we continue with the 6 authors I’ve read 4 times.<\/p>\n

Scott Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n

The creator of Dilbert<\/em> and all around internet crank, Adams has used his famous character to write a number of humorous business books, the most recent of which I read in 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Angels & Demons – Dan Brown<\/p><\/div>\n

Dan Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most successful authors of all time, I’ve read four of his five Robert Langdon novels.<\/p>\n

James Ellroy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The author of the L.A. Quartet, which I finished off with The Big Nowhere<\/em> in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gone Girl – Gillian Flynn<\/p><\/div>\n

Gillian Flynn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Entertainment Weekly<\/em> writer turned in to one of my favorite authors, though she hasn’t written a new full length work since 2012’s Gone Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Diana G. Gallagher<\/strong><\/p>\n

All four of her entries are based in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

John Vornholt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three fourths of his works that I’ve read come from the world of Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
