Authors Everyone Should Read at Least One Book From

I'm stopping! I could add so many more, but there must come a point to keep things from spiraling out of control. Did I already cross that line at 50, or 100, or 250? Ah well. In any case, when library patrons ask the golden question--What should I read next?--sometimes I guide them to new authors instead of new titles. Happily, the nudges have proven fruitful and expanded reading horizons. I hope this list helps you! Happy reading!
