authors that you have read everything they have written
they could be your faves or someone that you were just into at one point in time.
let's make this more reasonable and say virtually everything they have written because i don't want technicalties called on some obscure early work or short story piece. here is my list, some of it i am proud of, some of it i am not, but i have went through different phases of what i have enjoyed so here goes......and the follow up question, would you read anything new "your" authors put out today if they are still writing? Craig Clevenger Bret Easton Ellis Chuck Palahniuk Jack Kerouac David Sedaris Augusten Burroughs James Frey Nick McDonnell Jay McInerney Ben Mezrich David Eggers that is all i can think of for now.

Re: authors that you have read everything they have written
J.D. Salinger.. I think I've read most of what he's published, but that's because he doesn't write anything. the stories I've read:
catcher in the rye franny zooey raise high the roofbeam, carpenters seymour: an introduction nine stories and some story that was published in a magazine about a guy who lives above a girl and listens to music with her. don't remember that one too well, I read it like three years ago.

Re: authors that you have read everything they have written
Salinger is in my list (I think I also read the short-story but can't remember for sure).
Most of Hemingway Somerset Maughm (the Razor's Edge, Of Human Bondage) David Sklansky When I was a kid I read almost all of the Hardy Boys books as well as the Choose Your Own Adventure series.

Re: authors that you have read everything they have written
Somerset Maughm is really good, I read an incredible collection of short stories by him. He had this one... it was about a women who was a famous novelist (famous for her use of the semi colon, in a comedic sense) and her husband, who was a dull person (nick named the philiatrist).
It was really, really good.

Re: authors that you have read everything they have written
Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorites as well. His latest novel though is not up to the standard of Blood Meridian or Suttree. Someone made the comment on the Cormac McCarthy forum that he is no longer in the business of writing masterpieces. Perhaps a bit harsh but hard to argue with.
A new play of his was recently performed in Chicago. The audience's reaction was largely favorable. He has another book coming out in a couple of months, this one science fiction. Apparently it's the story of two travellers, one young one old, after some sort of cataclysm. raisins
