(Yes, I know, don't end a sentence with a preposition, but I thought if I named the topic "by which author have you read every book" no one would respond and I haven't had enough coffee to figure out if that's even grammatically correct...)
I have some weird and scattered tastes but there are some authors I like and then read everything they have, even if I don't end up liking them all. Mine are, in no particular order: Chris Bohjalian John Grisham Jonathan Kellerman Scott Turow Gillian Flynn (although she only has three plus one short story) Liane Moriarty Michael Crichton Stephen King (I haven't read all of the books he has published under pen names) Michael Connelly Jon Krakauer Andy Weir Bill Bryson Emily Giffin (although I think I may be done with her now) Justin Cronin Harper Lee (only two books) David Sedaris (nonfiction) Jack Carr Barbara Kingsolver Some authors I'd like to finish out because I enjoyed the three or more books of theirs I have read: Anthony Doerr Laura Hillenbrand Ann Patchett Erik Larson Frederik Backman Michael Lewis (nonfiction) Kristin Hannah Jennifer Weiner Elin Hilderbrand Taylor Jenkins Reid Lisa Jewell Jodi Picoult Curtis Sittenfeld Gabrielle Zevin |
