Eclecticisms

I love coming across an author and enjoying their work so much you want to devour everything they have ever done. I have felt like that in the past and continue to do so to this day.

I have goals to read all their work but in reality as Frank Zappa rightly said 'So many books, so little time'. Reading everything interesting is impossible, so only things that grab me, are useful (not fluff) and won't make me feel in a state of torture will be consumed.

That said here are some authors and their works I have either read or want to read to get close to the completist level. Maybe for some authors I will reach the completist level, either way 'twill be a journey I shall enjoy.
