1. J.R.R. Tolkien — The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are some of the few books I have reread and still plan on reading again. Although they aren’t books I can read all the time, they are stories that I think about very often, and I could never give them up.
2. Stephen King — Not the GOAT, but I love horror, he is extremely prolific, and his books are … comfy in the same sort of way as Tolkien’s books.
3. Terry Pratchett — This was a tough one for me. I figured I needed some comedy in this list, and my first instinct would be Douglas Adams. But Pratchett had way more books, most of which I haven’t read yet, so Sir Terry wins!

I would never finish a book I hated that much. Probably wouldn’t even make it 25% of the way through. And I would never rate a book based on reading only that much of it.

William Shatner wrote a whole bunch of science fiction novels. A number of them are set in the Star Trek official universe, but he does have an entirely original series called TekWar. He also wrote a number of memoirs.
