\"\"<\/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 thirteen times, one more than two years ago.<\/p>\n

The House of Last Resort – Christopher Golden<\/p><\/div>\n

Christopher Golden<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prolific author first entered my bookshelf in 1998, thanks to a\u00a0Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> tie-in, but his latest was an original concept.<\/p>\n

Brad Meltzer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was originally exposed to Meltzer through his comics work for DC, eventually trying out his prose work in 2002, when I read both\u00a0The Millionaires<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The First Counsel<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, he has been a pretty steady presence as new work is released, last seen in 2022 with\u00a0The Lightning Rod<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bravo – Greg Rucka<\/p><\/div>\n

Greg Rucka<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first became aware of Greg Rucka through his prestigious comic book work.\u00a0 In 1999, I read the first entry in his Atticus Kodiak series,\u00a0Keeper<\/em>.\u00a0 I followed up with the next three entries the following year, bringing my up to date with his work.\u00a0 From that point on, I picked up each of his original works as they were released, including three more entries in the Kodiak series, three novels based on his\u00a0Queen & Country<\/em>\u00a0comic book series, one standalone work, and, most recently, the two books in the Jad Bell series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
