Memememe

A fun meme, from Philobiblon: "which authors have you read more than ten books by?" (Obviously, this presumes extremely productive authors.)

Let's see.  Including authors I read as a child, but excluding dramatists:

Louisa May Alcott

Margaret Allingham

Isaac Asimov

Agatha Christie

Wilkie Collins

Charles Dickens

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Walter Farley

George MacDonald Fraser

Joseph Hansen

Thomas Hardy

Marguerite Henry

Reginald Hill

Emily Sarah Holt

Stephen King

James Michener

Patrick O'Brian

Ellis Peters [Edith Pargeter]

Dorothy L. Sayers

Muriel Spark

Anthony Trollope

Gore Vidal

UPDATE: Oops! Forgot Piers Anthony, Joyce Carol Oates, and Ian Rankin.

That's the most impressive list so far in this meme, I rather think!
I feel awful, as since I perpetuated teh meme from its originator, A Flickering Light, he's not been credited with the idea anywhere. I feel as if I've broken some unwritten blog-rule and thrown someone else's thoguhtful ideas aaway, somehow. Is it rude of me to ask you keep this comment as an indication of where the idea began?
