Topic: Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read
When I started this I asked myself the question, who exactly is a mainstream popular author? Who gets to decide that?!! How are these defined?
So I did what any confused person does, I googled! I found a list of 100, most of who I have never heard of! But I’ve added some below that I recognise their names but don’t think I’ve ever read!
Steven King
John Grisham
Dean Koontz
Anne Rice
Margaret Atwood
Patricia Cornwell
Jodi Picoult
Neil Gaiman
David Balducci
Robin Hobb
Who is on your list?

I think that I’ve read one book by each of your authors apart from Margaret Atwood and Robin Hobb who are both authors that I enjoy. Working out what exactly is a mainstream popular author is likely to be different for everyone though 😃

I don’t know why I’ve never read Anne Rice or Jodi Picoult- feels like I should have!!!

I’ve read six of those – some of the others I’m not familiar with. Name any mainstream romance author and there’s a high probability I’ve never read them, lol.

Same for me with thrillers or horror, but they are genres I want to get into more!

“Mainstream” really confused me! I do love Stephen King, and went through an Anne Rice phase for several years (a long time ago).
