How does an author earn double-digit commitment from a reader?

In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim reveals the only 23 SFF authors he has read more than 10 novels from — ranked from the ones who just sneak in at 11 books… all the way to the author he’s read a staggering 61 novels by.

No novellas. No short stories. Just full-length novels.

From epic fantasy cornerstones to zombie apocalypse marathons, from multiverse classics to modern horror heavyweights — these are the writers who captured Jim’s imagination long enough to keep him coming back again and again.

Some he’ll continue reading for years to come.

Others? Maybe not.

And a few big names are just outside the club… for now.
