Top Ten Authors I've Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More

It's time for Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and The Bookish

This week's theme: Top Ten Authors I've Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More

1. Michael Lewis:  I read and loved Moneyball.  My husband has read and loved The Big Short and highly recommends it, so I figure I should read it. 


 2. Kazuo Isiguro:  I thought Never Let Me Go was a moving and thought-provoking book. The Remains of the Day is another one I'd love to try out.


3. Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite all time books.  I'd love to read Three Musketeers.

4. Neil Gaiman: I read the book he wrote with Terry Pratchett and would love to read more from him.  But where to start?  Any recommendations?


5. Erik Larson: After reading The Devil in the White City, I went out and bought Thunderstruck, but haven't read it yet.


6. Ned Vizzini: It's Kind of a Funny Story was a very interesting book on depression. I am wondering if his other books address the same topic.


7. Michael Shaara: I read The Killer Angels since it was a Pulitzer Prize winner and really enjoyed it.  He also wrote For Love of The Game and I would like to read that.


8. Kathryn Stockett: I enjoyed The Help, but I don't think she has written any other books.


9. Jennifer Egan: A Visit From the Goon Squad was entertaining and unique.  I would love to read some of her other work.


10. Barry Lyga: I need to read the rest of the I Hunt Killer series!

    1. Yippee! I love when people recommend books over and over on one list; it makes me feel more excited to read it! I think Remains of the Day will need to move up on the TBR list!
