Reading through Authors at the Book Blogger Hop

This week's question comes from Christina who blogs at The Paperback Princesses.  She asks: "If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?" 

My Answer: Yes, I do...eventually. If I really liked a book I'll look up the author and see what else s/he has written but it may take awhile before I read the other books. I think I do this for two reasons. First, I do enjoy variety so if the author is a genre writer then I might hold off just so I'm not reading the same type of books. Secondly, I was not a big reader as a kid or teen. So, in a way I always feel like I'm playing catch up and need to get a base-line of background reading hence the need for variety. Actually, I think the second reason is dumb and just me pressuring myself unnecessarily. 

Examples of authors' books I've hunted: 

                 -Amy Tan                  -Charlotte Bronte          -Tobias Wollf  
                 -Sherman Alexi       -Jane Austen
