Normally, I use Goodreads to keep track of the books that I remember reading. When I store such information on the best book media on earth, the system gives me in return statistics with little effort. An example is the most read authors from my list. I realize from that stat, I do not normally read more than one book from many authors. The only authors I have read more than three/four books is Jane Austen, that would make sense because she is my favourite author.
In addition, my most read authors corresponds with my most owned authors. Now I have a small physical library of not more than 100 books (not counting the borrowed never returned- my heart still cries for especially one copy), so it is easy to keep track of the authors. Some usually stay on my mind even if I read only one book for example Harper Lee but other times authors names are not on the tip of my tongue. It is only just a few years back, I made an effort to remember authors. It may sound stupid but my aim is always to recall the story and perhaps the book title. I guess this is why many of the books I read before I cannot recollect the author or title but mere fragments of the story.
Some of my most read/owned authors:
Jane Austen
Philippa Gregory
Debra White Smith
James Patterson
Who are your most read authors? let me know below in the comments section.
I wonder how I will recall all the authors that I have read? That would be utter madness.

I have yet to read so many of my books that I rarely reread anything. Elizabeth Gaskell is an old favourite. Why are people so carefree about returning borrowed books?

Urgh! Tell me about Derrick, that should be common courtesy to return what is not yours. I have read only North and South from Gaskell.
