"10 authors" meme

[topaz]

I've read at least ten books by each of these people:

Stephen King
Dr. Seuss
Robert Parker
Janet Evanovich
Isaac Asimov
Piers Anthony
Michael Crichton
Robert Heinlein

A shabby list compared with most of my peers. I don't think I've read ten books by Dean Koontz -- it is hard to remember and I can't distinguish any of them by reading the plot synopses. If I have read ten Dean Koontz books I think I will have to eat my spleen.

Methinks you forgot some other kid lit: Sandra Boynton? Beatrix Potter?

Oh, and Anne Tyler, surely.

Hmm:

The Accidental Tourist
Breathing Lessons
Ladder of Years
Morgan's Passing
Searching for Caleb
Celestial Navigation
Earthly Possessions
Saint Maybe
A Patchwork Planet

Almost! If I ever read Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant like Mom keeps urging me to do, I'll be there.

Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant was one of my favorite Anne Tyler novels, but I haven't read as many as you have.

It's certainly one of the canonical ones. I'm not sure why I haven't gotten to it. Sort of like calling myself a film geek without having seen Casablanca (which I finally got around to, gratefully, a couple of years ago).

My parents are tremendous fans of Anne Tyler. I think it's in the genes.
