Sedge Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 After my nan bought me The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub one Christmas, I was hooked on SK and now have a complete set. I honestly couldn't tell you why I didn't go for Peter Straub. After having re-read the book, I can't say who wrote which parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yep, after reading The Ladykiller by Martina Cole I now have all of her other books bar one, Yep same here! Although I don't own all of them, I have read every one! Madcow - what one are you missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Madcow - what one are you missing? The Graft, it's on Greenmetropolis at the moment but will have to wait till the end of the month (payday) before i can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicx27 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I bought all the Peter Robinson Inspector Banks books after reading the first one. It has backfired on me though in the past - for instance with Erica James' books. I read two and loved them both, so bought all her others and didn't like any of them.

Michelle Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yep.. let me think.. JD Robb 'In Death' books Jean M Auel 'Earth's Children' series KW's books (member on here) - some she sent, some I bought Kate Harrison and I'm sure a few more. :eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oh that reminds me, KW is another one I will more than likely collect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 After borrowing a Morse book by Colin Dexter from the library, I asked for the boxset collection of all 13 books for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yup - Pratchett was one author and Simon Scarrow another. I got in on the first book with Kelley Armstrong and have bought each of her books as they came out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Jean M Auel 'Earth's Children' series How could I forget about these? Excellent books! And also I am going to be the same with Raven Hart - after reading her first two books I will definately be getting the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ooh yea - I forgot Kelley Armstrong and Raven Hart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I should really include Stephen King and Barbara Erskine as well. I have collected all of Barbara Erskine and I am making my way through the Stephen King's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samgrosser Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Gradually collecting everything by Ernest Hemingway, although it'll probably be years before I've read it all. It doesn't help that I keep rereading the ones I've already read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have all of John Sandford's books...well, except his newest one and the few that I lost when my old apartment flooded. I also have all of the Pendergast books by Preston/Child, and I'll pick up any Dickens I find. When my boyfriend first got into Hemingway, my parents gave us their collection, including a 1st edition of For Whom the Bell Tolls. Also, after I read Pride and Prejudice, my mother gave me leather-bound editions with two novels each on three consecutive Christmases.

NiceguyEddie Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have all of John Sandford's books...well, except his newest one and the few that I lost when my old apartment flooded. He is under rated in the UK. I've listened to a few and read a few. Great thrillers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 My collections would include Cathy Kelly Philippa Gregory Jodi Picoult C. J. Sansom Thomas Hardy Jane Austen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Kell's post reminded me of Discworld. I haven't got them all yet, but I am collecting the entire series (I've only read the first 15 so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was hooked on Jane Austen after reading Pride and Prejudice. I got Emma and a new copy of Pride and Prejudice (the original was second-hand and fell apart when I read it) for Christmas last year and I went and bought the rest of her books.

Oblomov Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Back in the 1969, I got hooked to James Hadley Chase after reading his The World in My Pocket. Over the years I collected all his available books. The wife is very much into murder mysteries and has a full collection of P D James' books, among others.

Mia Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Have you ever bought everything an author has written after reading just 1 book of theirs? Ooh yes, I do this all the time! There is nothing better than reading something you really enjoyed and then finding that the author has written loads of books. :eek2: I did this with: Terry Pratchett Stephen King Dean Koontz Philip Pullman Carol Berg... And now I've just discovered Harlen Coben and am probably going to get all his back catalogue. Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
