Alright /lit/, I've got a question for those of you who still buy books and keep bookshelves. Which author do you have the most works by in your collection? Second most? Third?

Screenshots are encouraged.

Pic related: I have 10 works by him even though I don't really read his stuff anymore. Followed probably by Hemingway and finally Burroughs.

I think I have like six books by Albert Camus.

>> No.990090

Second Most: Cormier

I love Nabokov and Cormier, not a huge Vonnegut fan but people buy me his books as gifts fairly often.

2. Philip K. Dick (9)
3. Kurt Vonnegut/Robert A. Heinlein (8)

Thomas Hardy, Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, George Eliot, and Kurt Vonnegut

>> No.990275

Leon Bloy : 7
Cioran : 6
Nietzsche : 6

I haven't finished to read the 6 Nietzsche's books I have yet . Cioran had a big influence on me and thanks to him I discovered plenty of writers (and the best thing is that I can piss of hipsters who just know him by name and quote him too much) .
Then Leon Bloy , well .. he's just the master (as a novelist or essayist , he's above humanity).

Hipster detected. "I know Nietzsche soooo much better than anyone else and I was reading him before he was cool."

>> No.990299

1. Vonnegut- 9 books.
2. HG Wells- 3 books.
3. Victor Hugo- 2 books.

I don't have that many books. Like 30.

5 if a person would count "the complete hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" by Douglas Adams. 4 between J.R.R. Tolkien and Stephen King. 2 by Vonnegut and John Irving. Getting heavy into Hugo and Hemingway and they will probably take the lead eventually.

Ted Hughes is first with 7.
Gabriel García Márquez second with 5.

Tim Dorsey in number one slot.
Nearly every David Eddings book to date, but quite frankly, all his stories tend to blur together and they just don't entertain me anymore as they used to. (Captcha related: past dulling)

I've got an equal amount of William Gibson, Pratchett, and Neil Gaimon books.

I like Cioran as well. I have the big 1800+ pages book with all his work, so I guess he's on the tp of my list.

I think the most books from one writer I have is 4... Those are Dostoevsky, Céline, Nietzsche, and Nabokov.
