What author dominates your bookshelves?

November 8, 2009

In other words - if I were to look at your shelves - what name would I see the most?

For me - James Patterson and Mary Higgins Clark have their own shelves. I'm a sucker for collecting their books.

  1. Its probably a tie between James Patterson and Tami Hoag

  2. He don’t have many books out but Dave Pelzer.

  3. charles bukowski

  4. Stephen King

  5. Dean Koontz and Carl Sagan.

  6. John Sandford. But Lee Child is better…

  7. Robert B Parker
    Michael Connely
    Robert Crais

  8. I have my mystery writers, leading off with Hillerman and going through Rick Riordan, Lindsay Davis and Stephen Saylor. But I read sci-fi and fantasy too. I just finished Stardust. Hitchhiker…was probably one of the funniest books I have ever read.

  9. Nora Roberts

  10. Primarily Tolken and Mercedes, creator of the SERRAted Edge novels.

  11. to many to put down. My room is filled with tons of books. From picture books to huge chapter books. So good luck finding one author dominating my shelves.

  12. Lillian Jackson Braun mostly, little Dean Koontz, but mostly it’s a variety, classics, cheesy 80’s novels, you name it, I’ve got it.

  13. Michael Chabon owns my bookshelf.

  14. Robert Jordan Robert Jordan Robert Jordan. Every hardcover, every paperback, even magazines with articles about him and books with short stories compiled by different authors that he is in. The RPG book based on his Wheel of Time series, the CCG game and the big white reference book about WoT….
    After him, you might notice Kate Elliott, Jim Butcher, and Laurell K Hamilton, among dozens of others.

  15. Lori Wick and Carolyne Keene (yes, Nancy Drew).

  16. Brian Jaques; otherwise, I rarely buy books, and when I do I rarely keep them.

    More or less I support my library (ie I check out books and when I buy them I donate them when I’m done)

  17. Terry Goodkind, but only because his series was thirteen books long, and I rarely stick with an author for more than two or three books, even though I have millions of books.

  18. Stephen King &James Patterson

  19. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Robert McCammon, and many others.

  20. Stephanie Meyers, James Patterson, J.K Rowling, Meg Cabot, Sarah Dessen, etc. I have a lot of books so it would take you a while!

  21. William Faulkner. Followed closely by Henry James (the product of a college senior seminar) and (I’m embarrassed to admit it) Sophie Kinsella – my guilty pleasure read.

    When I was in high school, it was Anne McCaffrey, Phillip Pullman, Susan Cooper, Patricia C. Wrede, T.A. Barron, Agatha Christie, and C.S. Lewis.
