AUTHORS I’VE READ THE MOST

By number of books and pages, these are the authors I’ve read the most. From the struggle against hypocrisy in Hawthorne’s work to the humor-filled suspense in MacLean’s, from Burke’s gritty yet beautiful stories to Lawhead’s historical fantasy epics, these are books that have enlightened and/or entertained me. Use your own discernment in finding those that suit your tastes.
