Few authors have been as prolific I think! I have only re-read a few of Sir Terry’s but he wrote so many that he is way ahead of the others on my reading record! Probably the next read authors, if I was doing a top 20, would be Stella Gibbons, Jane Austen and maybe Charlotte Bronte.

Every one is a joy! Apart from STP, I think Ian McEwan and Evelyn Waugh are the next closest, both fewer than 10 novels each though.

Indeed yes, she wrote so many! I’ve got to admit I still haven’t read any of her books, but then I’m not so keen on detective mysteries. I’m sure she’d be the most-read author for many fans of the genre!

Thanks, your enthusiasm is great! *adds Sarah Waters to list of authors to check out*

Herbert, maybe not so much, they are dated and probably offensive to many these days lol. Sarah’s are historical fiction and honestly, they are absolutely superb. So I’d say Waters over Herbert for sure 👍🏻

I have not even read any James Herbert or Sarah Waters! Am I missing out?! There are so many authors I haven’t tried yet, I just keep returning to my favourites.

Discworld is definitely worth trying! They do follow different characters – I prefer the ones about the witches. I think some of the early books can be hit and miss, I guess because he was still finding the tone and building the world.

Sarah Waters is my all time favourite now and I await with bated breath for her next novel. It’s been a long time coming!

I’ve read Good Omens and a nonfiction collection, A Slip of the Keyboard, but nothing else just yet. I plan on getting around to reading more of his books.
