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

1. When I first saw this post, I thought there were a LOT, but now that I'm at home going through my books, I realize that's not exactly so: Anne Rivers Siddons, except I got kind of sick of her, so I haven't read her last few. Anne Tyler -- I've *started* all of her books (and she's still writing), but I haven't finished reading her last two or three, I didn't like them. Stephen King, though I skipped his non-fiction book about baseball, so he doesn't really count, either... But I have read everything by: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lorna Landvik, Atul Gawande, and Jon Hassler
2. Stephen King, easily.
3. Dr. Atul Gawande has written three books that I know of, but I'm hoping he'll keep writing.
4. Neil Gaiman, I think...
5. Cherie Priest, Sarah Addison Allen, Ray Bradbury
Glad you like the meme :) I thought I had read all of A LOT more authors until I started looking them up online. They are all so much more productive than I had thought, which is fantastic!
1. Are there any authors you love so much that you have read every single book they have ever published? List them. Jane Austen, I think! Of course J.K. Rowling and other authors who've only written a few books - Scott Lynch and Megan Whalen Turner for starters.
2. Which of those authors has written the most books? I would say J.K. Rowling.
3. Who wrote the fewest? Scott Lynch (but that's because he's only written two - so far, so this might not count!)
4. Are there any authors you've read almost all of? YES. Diana Wynne Jones! I haven't read a few of her out-of-publication works, and the last book she wrote (:_;). Also, Tamora Pierce.
5. Are there any authors you are currently working on reading all the way through? Currently, no.. I'm flitting between one author and the next. (Juliet Marillier, Milan Kundera, etc.)
6. Are there any authors who you thought you had read all of until you googled them for this meme and have now discovered they have a new book out? (yay! More reading for you!) Tamora Pierce! I thought I'd

Oh, we have similar tastes :) I'm working on Austen, and I love Diana Wynne Jones and Tamora Pierce. I haven't read "Mastiff" yet either, but I just listened to "Bloodhound" on CD to remind myself what happened in it. So now I am ready to give "Mastiff" a shot. The Beka Cooper books aren't my favorite of Tamora Pierce's books but I still like them :)
