Complete Works meme

[akikotree]

This meme was inspired by my realization that I have not read all of the books written by even some of my very favorite authors. I just haven't had time to get to them all! Have you

I've read everything that Nora Roberts has published as J.D. Robb. (The In Death series, to be exact.) So, technically, I have not as I *know* she's Nora Roberts, but I'm going to count it anyway as there are 30-something books in the series and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one in a few weeks.

I've also read everything that Joanne Fluke has written (the Hannah Swensen series). There are 18 or so in the series, plus a collected works cookbook that I also own.

I've read all of Lisa Genova's books (2 so far, with one more coming out this fall I've pre-ordered). I highly recommend these books any time someone asks me for a rec. They're *THAT* good, and I don't even typically like general fiction.

I'm working my way through all of Jim Butcher's works. I've read every Dresden Files book in the series and have started in on his Codex Alera series

I am actually working on Cassandra Clare, Suzanne Collins, and Jim Butcher right now too! But Terry Prachett is the one I am reading the most actively.

Once upon a time I did all of
Dorothy L Sayers - Lord Peter Whimsey books
Josephine Tey - easy she didn't write many
I may have done all of Margery Allingham - Albert Campion
Those are "golden age" mysteries

Currently Donna Leone - Inspector Brunetti and Lindsay Davis Marcy Didius Falco
I may have missed one or two. Leone & Davis are still writing.
I'm looking to complete Michael Dibdin - Aurilio Zen. Dibdin died two years ago so the series is complete.

In non fiction I am so impressed with David Hackett Fisher I want to read everything he has written. Philip Jenkins may be joining him.

Sayers also wrote non-fiction, so you may not have read all her books :)

[seaivy]

She wrote theology and Christian polemic. I've read some of that too. I make a distinction in kinds of writing. Which is why I noted that it was the Lord Peter Whimsey books that I had read the totality.

Oh fair enpugh - this is only for fun after all - I was just being a Ghastly Pedant, as is my wont :)

Incidentally, have you read the Jill paton Walsh Wimsey novels? I've read Thrones, Dominations but haven't got around to the other two yet.

You know, I don't think I've read every book by any given author - there are many authors I've read most of any many more I've read a lot by, but ....oh wait a minute - Harper Lee. But given that she only wrote one book, To Kill A Mockingbird, I'm not sure that really counts....

[readthisandweep]

To Kill a Mockingbird always counts. ;)

[akikotree]

Harper Lee totally counts! I had a feeling there might be some more authors who I had read all of... if all was only one book. I had forgotten this one :)
