Do you have any authors that you read all of their books /lit/?

>> No.8267803

Poe, Lovecraft are the only ones who (have) actually released more than 1-3 titles (I won't bother mentioning cases like that)

Also, I won't promise I've read all their material, but I've read very complete collections of their works etc. There's surely a chance that I've missed something small.

Yeah I like to read the full works of an author I like if I can

Oh and I've read To Kill a Mockingbird so there's another (Go Set a Watchmen ain't no book)

Melville. Got most of Tolstoy knocked out, but still a couple short stories to go. Working on Dickens (novel #7) but motherfucker if he didn't publish a lot.

I'll get Joyce if I ever manage Finnegan's Wake. Big if, though...

I consumed every last John Bellairs book that I could get my hands on while in middle school, which was something like two dozen volumes. John Bellairs was a YA/high school-tier author who wrote mystery stories with young protagonists, and occasionally some wise old benefactor/sidekick. It helped that many of the books had cover illustrations by Edward Gorey.

The closest I've come is reading Joyce's main four (Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake). Though he also wrote some poetry, a play, and various fragments that I've never touched, so technically no.

Nietzsche and Plato, one work short of Aristotle.
