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 think The Keep, was probably his most popular. It even had a (horrendous) movie made from it. It's the book that made me a fan of his. It's the first of a subset of six that are part of the Secret History.
