Book meme - A - Author You’ve Read The Most Books From

[byslantedlight]

caffyolay has given me A... and although I'm rolling my eyes at whoever worded the meme, this is rather a cool think-y one. And I think - I think that it really has to be the author of these books: Because there were all the Famous Five books, and all the Five Find-Outers, and all the Secret Seven, the Adventure books, the various wee series that were published as hardbacks to match the set in the pictures here - and we had dozens of those, it felt like, that I loved. So... surely it must be Enid Blyton!

Hmmn - second runner-up... well, there's Patrick O'Brian of course, because there are 20 Aubrey/Maturin books. But then, how many books did Agatha Christie write, because I've read most of hers (though apparently she wrote 67 mysteries, could I really have read most of them?). Who else...? Elinor M. Brent-Dyer, the Chalet School books! Terry Pratchett must be up there... Robert Heinlein perhaps. Oh - Elizabeth Peters, for Amelia Peabody, though I got caught up in life, and I'm five behind. I should get those out of my storage and start again too... *g* There must be more authors I've read lots of - I expect they'll come to me. *g*

What about you?

I suppose, among other things, that Enid Blyton was just so prolific that if we wanted to we could read on and on! According to wiki she wrote over 700 books... But she was good - she caught something that children wanted to read... *g*
