The Big Chronicles SF/F Reading Quiz

[Brian G Turner]

You know how we always look at lists of books on other sites to see how many we've read?

How about we do that on chrons?

I thought it would be good to do a reading test, based on the most discussed authors on chrons:

More authors...

www.sffchronicles.com

How many have you read?

EDIT: I've checked my own tally, and I've finished books by 60 of these, and started books by another 14 without finishing. I have a couple more on my TBR.

If my number sounds high, it's because I've often taken reading recommendations from the forums.

 

[Danny McG]

53 of them authors...is that half?
(I think I just counted 106 so probably half)

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I've read works by 49 of these authors.

 

[nixie]

56 definitely, another 5 I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Dave]

44 for certain, I think. It's hard to be precise. I may have read short stories by others, and I am familiar with the work of others i.e. as animations, without actually reading their books.

[Jo Zebedee]

45 - but, like Brian, I have others I’ve tried and weren’t to my taste

 

[Bick]

I've read books by 62 of them.

 

[Mouse]

Five. And currently reading TGP by our Bryan, so sort of six? There's a couple on there whose books I started but never finished.

 

[elvet]

63 tht I am sure of.

 

[Bick]

63 tht I am sure of.

Ah, so I was winning for only 2 minutes

Edit: But I'm waiting for Baylor to show up and crush all before him with a 'score' of 90-something

 

[Harpo]

Thirty, I think. Hard to be sure about things I read in the 70s.

Thirtytwo if we add Verne & Wells

 

[AlexH]

26, I reckon, a few of them short stories from authors on this forum.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

45 - but, like Brian, I have others I’ve tried and weren’t to my taste

Like you, there were ones I started but didn't count because they weren't to my taste and I didn't get far.

 

[Vince W]

I've read books by 68 of the authors but some of them only one or two.

 

[hitmouse]

54, for what it is worth.

 

[Culhwch]

So many I've read a couple of chapters of and ditched.

A lowly total of seventeen, I'm afraid.

 

[BAYLOR]

Ive read 54 on that list.

 

[Daysman]

A meagre 40 from this list, but that includes everything from a few chapters of Margaret Atwood to a ridonculous amount of Isaac Asimov...

 

[J Riff]

35ish, all the older stuff.
