Favorites > Lists > Prolific Writers

My sons and I are fast readers, and so we like fat books that last us a while. But of course, not everyone writes fat books - while it's accepted in fantasy, it's not such a common feature in science fiction, and of course, funny books are invariably fairly short, because of the difficulties in sustaining humor. So, failing fat books, we look for writers that have written a lot (of course, top of our list is writers who have written a lot of fat books!). Here's a few writers that will keep you going for a while.

[As I said before, there's no point in reiterating a lot of description - Amazon does it so much better than me; so I've provided links (the images, or text links where no image is available) to the appropriate pages in Amazon.]
