What aspects of the authors’ previous works captivated your enjoyment? Personally, my three chosen authors are Nicholas Sparks, as we all crave romance in our lives; Rick Riordan, whose books rekindle the youthful enthusiasm within me; and lastly, Fredrik Backman, whom I consider the finest realistic fiction author.
Toni Morrison, Amy Tan, and the third has yet to be determined. I really like Jodi Picoult, Brian James, Cormac McCarthy, Paulo Coelho, V.C. Andrews, and Franz Kafka, but I haven’t read enough of their work to be able to say for sure. I would probably lean towards the Gothic stuff, though.
Colson Whitehead, Chuck Palahniuk, Neal Stephenson
Cormac McCarthy
James Joyce
Robert Anton Wilson
Unknown/Anonymous would be #1 so I could include a bunch of other older classic books or poems like the Bible, The Iliad and Odyssey, and other collections of oral stories or fairy tales like by Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm Brothers.
AI as my second because they could steal and print every book.
Third might be someone who wrote an extensive amount like Asimov. Plus he wrote about a variety of subjects, not just scifi.
My goal would be to prioritize quantity then quality.
So with that said
Terry Pratchet, Brandon Sanderson, Stephen King.
They all have an amazing body of work or consistent creative output so i have faith itll eventually get massive.
Joan Didion, Marguarite Duras, David Mitchell.
Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Ada Palmer
John Fante
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Charles Bukowski
(Can you tell I have a type?)
Jason Pargin, China Meville, Peter Clines.
C. S. Lewis, Steven King, Larry Niven
Irvine Welsh, Stephen King and Walter Scott. Quantity and quality.
