Which authors have we read MORE than one book by???

 I confess I am obsessed with keeping up with these odd kinds of trivia. So I took a list at which authors we have read multiple books by. To be honest, since we have been reading together since 1988, it's not all that surprising that we have done this, but hey, there are a whole lot of authors we HAVEN'T read more than one book. 

With no further ado, our multi chosen authors! 26 of them. 

The all time most read author by our group: 

Amor TowlesLouise Erdrich
Ann PatchettMarc Salzman
Anthony DoerrMargaret Atwood
Barbara Kingsolver
Marilynne Robinson

Elizabeth StoutOrhan Pamuk
Erik LarsonPatti Smith
Geraldine BrooksRuth Ozeki
Haruki MurakamiSue Miller
Irvin YalomSusan Orlean
Jane SmileyToni Morrison
Jeffrey EugenidesWallace Stegner
