@temporal_spider@masto.ai avatar

I'm feeling a little depressed, but not at all surprised by how many of the #10authors5bookseach lists featured only male authors, while I only saw one list that had only female ones. Of the remainder, most had mostly male authors with only one or two women. Sigh. On the other hand, it was nice to see quite a few male-presenting people posting lists that were fairly rich in female authors. More than you might find on a different platform. #bookstodon #gender #sexism

Tying to only pick 10 authors was harder than it seemed. So many great authors to choose from.

J.R.R Tolkien
W.E.B Griffiths
Tom Clancy
Diana Gabaldon
Clive Cussler
Sara Paretsky
David Eddings
Robert Jordan
Terry Goodkind

Robert Lynn Asprin
Somtow Sucharitkul

(That was made trickier by my self imposed not wanting to duplicate any of the authors in @SallyStrange list, which cost me an easy 4 😀)

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

  • Brian Jacques
  • Stephen King
  • Ira Levin
  • Chuck Palahniuk

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.
