Absolutely agree! A friend recommended one of her books, and after that, I had to go all in.

There was a period when limited time allowed me to have few breaks per day. In these breaks, I needed some light reading and books that could be read within an hour or two. Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy kid was ideal for it and I ended up reading the whole series and practically all of his writings.

Erin Hunter’s New Moon was the first book I remember reading and falling in love with. The Warrior series was what made me the big book worm I am today and I still reread and buy the newest additions to the on going series

James Lee Burke was one of the first authors I really got addicted to. Superb, literary thriller/mystery/suspense. After that it would have been Walter Mosley and John LeCarr'e.

If I go waaay far back it'd probably be Ursula K Le Guin or Philip Pullman. I loved Earthsea and his dark materials as a kid. These days I'm eager to dive into anything Dom Watson, Tasha Suri, or Terry Pratchett.

Erin Hunter. They sparked my love of reading

Scott Westerfeld.
I loved Leviathan trilogy; I couldn't get enough of it, so I read his other series. All his other books can't compare to the vibes I got from Leviathan series.
I even had to read similar genre (Steampunk) by other authors.

I'm not sure about first, but early on I tried to find everything by Christopher Pike!

Latter I have read about everything from Isaac Asimov. Isaac Asimov is one of the best Sci-Fi authors in my opinion.

I came here to say the same thing! I'm trying to make my way through all Verne's books right now, but I'm re-reading 20,000 leagues under the sea because I honestly can't get enough of it. Something about his writing is just so addictive and immersive!

The first author that I had to read everything by was actually a fanfiction writer. Don't scoff.
The first author of original fiction that I had to devour everything would be:
Paulo Coelho.

John Bellairs was the first author I had to read everything by. I had done series books when I was younger. I loved the Cam Jansen books and even the Spot books when I was little. John Bellairs was the first author for which I read multiple series purely based on the author.

Hemingway. And I did. All of it. Then I wrote my Master's thesis on him. Since then, I've read all of Dickens and John Irving.

Tamora Pierce. Her books are connected between series.

When I was a kid I always dreamt of reading all Enid Blyton books. So she's the first. I should add Laura Ingalls Wilder, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Jeff Kinney, J.K.Rowling, Richmal Crompton and maybe John Green too.

Sidney Sheldon. Rhe first book I read of his was Rage of Angels. I was only 13 then and I absolutely loved it. So then I tried to get more of his books to read. I borrowed them because I couldn't afford to buy books at the time and my parents didn't want me to read because they were worried it would distract me from my studies. I think I've read most of his books, except the ones later written by Tilly Bagshawe after his death.
