I’m challenging myself to read an authors canon this year, but I’m finding it hard to decide who. I think someone who published 25 works max would be my limit, and even that would be difficult for me to do in a year. Some ideas I have so far are; Margaret Atwood, J.R.R. Tolkien, and T.J. Klune. I’m currently on a horror binge but also really like sci fi.

For scifi, consider the incredible Octavia E. Butler. Closed canon as she’s deceased – 12 novels (11 if you don’t hunt down Survivor, which she ultimately hated so much she yanked it from publication), two published books of short stories, and a handful of nonfiction essays and speeches. There’s a complete bibliography on her Wikipedia page.
Guy Gavriel Kay would be a good option. He has about 15 books so very manageable, plus he has great prose and historical fantasy settings so it’s a treat to read
Toni Morrison perhaps?
