For me, as a young adult I became obsessed with V.C. Andrews!!! I still own at least 20 of her books and every few years, I can’t resist re-reading Flowers in the Attic. Then it was James Oatterson and Dean Koontz, and now it’s Dan Brown and Jeffrey Eugenides.

If we want to go WAY back to childhood it was a tie between Laura Ingalls Wilder and the "author" of the Babysitters Club books. I say "author" as I believe it was a series of ghost writers.

As an adult? I would say Suzanne Collins or Neil Gaiman.

The first author that I was addicted to was K.A. Applegate and her Animorphs series. When I found the first book at a book fair in elementary school, I begged my parents to buy as many as they could. Not knowing how release dates worked when I was a child, I would go to the bookstore almost every weekend we could and look for the next book in the series. I still own them all :)

Alfred Hitchcock with all the detective stories.

I think I read each and every book in the series that was available in my childhood.

Rick Riordan, I have literally read everything he has written, I think. I will keep reading the books that he writes in the future. I love his books because I love all the different types of mythologies he uses and the storylines he uses within his books. It's light and fun reading you don't have to think to hard about. I also agree with one of the previous posts. A.C. Doyle and Agatha Christie - I think there are some that I have not read but most of them - read them avidly.

It's mind-blowing the number of authors both known and soon-to-be discovered out there. I would really love to read all of their works but alas, too many books too little time. I can still remember reading the very first book I've ever read. My maternal grandmother sent it to me from the US of A and I remembered being very thrilled because I've always loved reading. It was Midnight Rose by Patricia Hagan. It was absolutely one of the best I've read. It was historical romance and I believed what led me to pursue reading that particular genre and I didn't regret a thing.

When I read Robert Ludlum's The apocalyose watch that gave me the hint of reading a good stuff.

For me, It was Wilbur Smith.

I started with The River God and I knew from then on that I had to read absolutely everything he wrote.

I must confess I am 2 books shy of completing my reading list of all his books. :techie-studyingbrown:
