Top 100 Fantasy Authors (How Many Have You Read?)

I got 82, I wonder if I'm allowed to name the ones I think are only fit for toilet-paper ?:rolleyes:

It's nice to put faces to the names, though - even if only to know who to punch.
 
An even quarter of the list. Though there are a handful or two of authors whose books sit on my shelves but haven't been read yet.
 
22. Tom Holt is the only one who wrote a book I stopped reading before the end.
 
60. I thought I was doing really well, and then I saw The Ace's score.

A number of them write books for kids -- e.g. Garth Nix, Jonathan Stroud, and some of them wrote a while ago (Lloyd Alexander, for example -- one of the best writers of fantasy ever, wrote books for children and was published in the 1960s. The same is true of Alan Garner, who is also wonderful).
 
i missed fifteen of those guys somehow... (disgruntled by what the world is coming to when the reading list is so backed up...) ... (actually i blame my sudden surge in manga reading for research purposes)
 
I get 25, but it's a bit of a cheat, regards fantasy, because I ticked a bunch if authors that I have read, but not actually their fantasy work.

It's Joe Abercrombie, and Elizabeth Moon, I think. Oh, and Enid Blyton, now that I think of it. Ha. 3! :cool:

Thanks for the welcome. I’m not sure why I only have 2posts, though. I’ve been posting in my Introduction thread.

An excellent three.

Not all posts count to your count. Intros and playrooms don't. I should spend more time there. :eek:
 
I got 36. Not bad for someone who hasn't read much Fantasy. I suspect some of them I might have read their science fiction works, but it's been a while, so I can't remember.

A few names I want to read, as well. Bujold, Hobb, Moon, Abercrombie.
 
I have only read 15 of those authors. I obviously have some serious catch-up reading to do!
 
I wound up with 31. Lists like this always interest me...they remind me how much more reading I have left to do. :) Although I am fairly proud of my 31.
 
I have read 35 of them. I am actually surprised at how many I actually don't know.
 
Just to set the low bar some low scoring fantasy fans need to get over ;) (since I'm not especially a fantasy fan), I got nineteen, though I came to a dozen of them from the direction of SF and, in some cases, haven't read any of their fantasy at all. I've also read stories by three more (also from the direction of SF). And I've got unread books by two more and an unread story by another. Counting all that would take me to a quarter of the list. (I may have read another one or few but only wanted to count the ones I was sure of.)
