Which author have you read most? Pic related for me, I've read eight of his books.

>> No.4030546

What should i check out after The Road and Blood Merdian?

Also, the answer to your question is Borges.

>> No.4030547

>Which author have you read most?
Does this include re-reads? If it does, can I assign the same value to a re-read as a first read?

Also, can I use a percentage? With an author who only wrote 1 book, I would have read 100% of their stuff, but If I read 2 books from someone who wrote 4, I have only read 50%.

You need to define your assessment criteria. I'm getting all confused.

Suttree is brilliant. The prose in it is just as rich as in Blood Meridian.

Mishima, I have most of his translated books.

China Mieville, I've read all of his fiction.

George R.R. Martin

Probably Terry Pratchett, just because he's a good light read for in-between serious books. There are plenty of authors whose entire (or near-entire) oeuvres I've read but they're nothing like as prolific as TP.

William S. Burroughs. I loved the Nova Trilogy and thought The Wild Boys and Naked Lunch were great. He was my favorite writer for a while. Before I think it was Cormac McCarthy actually.

>> No.4030701

Technically? Probably JK Rowling which is embarrassing.

Most authors I've read two or three of their works. But after Rowling would be Flann O'Brien and Thomas Hardy.

>> No.4030723

José Saramago

Wolfgang Hohlbein.

He's a fantasy author who's pretty famous in Germany with an avalanche-like output on the level of Steven King.

I read about 30-40 of his books when I was a kid.

Oscar Wilde. I fell in love with him a few years back though his personality is absolutely revolting.

>> No.4030882

Terry Pratchett, I suppose; I tend to read work by writers who publish several door-stoppers and promptly keel over.

>> No.4030900

Uh oh, I think it's J.K. Rowling. I tend to spread my reading out between different authors. Probably should choose one to focus on more.

Tolstoy.
