Improve the Breadth & Depth of Your Reading: 4 Works From Each of 167 Acclaimed Authors - Page 4

This challenge consists of blocks of 4 highly-rated books per well-known author (mostly chosen according to Goodreads rankings). You might have guessed why four books. So that each author's works are clustered on the same row.
The main criterion for inclusion of a particular author was that I have read at least one book by that author. Unsurprisingly, in most cases I have continued on to read some of the author's' other books (or intend to do so).
