Every time I read books by authors who are new to me and I enjoy them, I proceed to search for other books they may have written in order to know more about their work. So, I own more than one book by many different authors. But who are the most prevalent writers on my shelves?
I went to count among the books that I have read and discovered that during my early teenage years I used to read many books by the same authors. Since I keep the ones I remember liking the most back then, the following list features some authors who I probably won’t be reading any more books by. On the other hand, I will continue reading other authors I am about to mention in the future, as I am still interested in their currently published books and upcoming work.
As my list of read books continues to grow, I plan to do a similar blog post every year to see how it changes. I intended to mention five authors. However, since I read the same number of books by the last two authors on the list, it features six.
