Well I have read 6 prose books by him (Jerusalem trilogy, Voice of the Fire, Illuminations and the Great When) but I think From Hell and Watchmen both are dense enough to count as novels. I think comics are fair game if they’re a complete story in a single book? Your mood may vary of course.

5 is not enough
And yet more than a year later I am still stuck on Wind and Truth. 300 pages to go of the 1500+

I could have easily had King in there, and I don’t think the time was misspent. He’s genuinely a great writer. I feel when he gets the endings right, his stories are some of the best I’ve read. When he doesn’t (sadly quite often) then I still had a good time getting there.

Exactly 5. I need to read more. I often read wide though, rather than focusing on the works of an author.

I’ve been finding it too easy to scroll before bed so I’ve not read anything in a fair while.
I’ve just picked up Heir to the Empire to get me out of this rut.

Picking the five authors that I think I’ve read the most books by (otherwise, how do I choose?!):
- Terry Pratchett
- Dan Abnett
- Jim Butcher
- Brian Jacques
- Isaac Asimov
I expect it won’t be long before Brandon Sanderson knocks Isaac Asimov off that list.

Oooh, ones that haven’t been mentioned yet… this is actually kinda tricky for me, since I tend to read trilogies by authors (NK Jemisin, David Brin, Ann Leckie…), but not more than that.
