10 Authors, of whose books I've read at least 5:

  • V.C. Andrews
  • Philip K. Dick
  • Junji Ito
  • Brian Jacques
  • Stephen King
  • Ira Levin
  • Chuck Palahniuk
  • Anne Rice
  • Mildred D. Taylor
  • H.G. Wells

This was actually harder than I thought, since I tried not to count books I read as a child (such as Goosebumps), but that couldn't be entirely avoided.
