\"\"<\/a>It is time once again to take a look at the authors I have read the most, dating back to high school.\u00a0 This year, I\u2019m 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\u2019ve read through August of this year. Since our last check-in, I\u2019ve read an additional 114 books, so there should be some movement over the past two years.\u00a0 Without further ado, it\u2019s time to take another look and see if my \u201cfavorite\u201d authors have changed much over the years.\u00a0 We continue today with the three authors I\u2019ve read seven times, a decrease of two from two years ago.<\/p>\n

Airframe – Michael Crichton<\/p><\/div>\n

Michael Crichton<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prolific author, who died in 2008, first entered my bookshelf in 1989, when I was assigned to read\u00a0The Andromeda Strain<\/em>\u00a0as part of my high school Biology class.\u00a0 He continued to be a big part of my 90s reading, but has only added a single title,\u00a0Airframe<\/em>, in this century.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Forster<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my first Kindle finds, I\u2019ve read the first seven entries in her Witness series.<\/p>\n

J.K. Rowling<\/strong><\/p>\n

All seven entries in the Harry Potter series, which I read in 2016, make up Rowling\u2019s total.\u00a0 She continues to write under a pen name, but her horrific political views make it unlikely that she would end up on this list twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
