I’ve definitely heard that about Danielle Steel, an author I’ve never read. I did figure that out about Stephen King about 10 books in, but that’s just me.
Oh, let’s see. Which three authors for me?
Mary Roach
Ann Rule
God, who inspired the Bible, which as we all know has multiple authors.
I spoilered the last one, because it’s gonna be controversial.
I’ll add a reserve read, in case one of my others is not available - the collected works of John le Carre. I can give his non-Secret Squirrel books a miss, and we’ll wait until I come off the island to see whether the follow-on works stand the test of time.
I think I’ve read just about all of the books written by all three of these guys, many of them more than once. I would have no problem reading all of them again.
