Hmm. Hard to remember if a given author fits. Asimov: Foundation trilogy, end of eternity, nemesis, some crappy foundation prequel, three robot novels, a couple books of short stories. Okay.
Definitely Pratchett, Zelazny, Wolfe.
Tim Powers: anubis gates, skies discrowned, last call, exp date, earthquake weather, declare, dinner at deviant's, road down the hill etc, stress of her regard, on stranger tides. Yes. (That makes all but one of his published books, and the other one is an early limited-print-run book that never got a wide publication.)
Heinlein is in the 7-9 range, I think. Don't think I've read 10 PKDick books.
Poul Andersen? Maybe 10. Couple different books of short stories, maybe 4 fantasy books, at least four science fiction.
Stephen Donaldson, god help me. 3 books first chrons of thomas cov, 3 books second ditto, 2 books mordant's need, daughter of regals etc., one book third chronicles of thomas cov.
Frank Herbert, ditto ditto.
Neal Stephenson, I don't think so. Two stephen bury books. Big u. zodiac. snow crash. crypto. diamond age. first book of baroque trilogy. Will be to ten when I read the other two books, go figure.
CS Lewis, certainly. All of Narnia, till we have faces, buncha apologetics, experiment in criticism.
Franklin W. Dixon, if "he" counts.
Does Dr. Seuss count?
(If so, do comic book writers count? I think I've read 10 trade-paper collections of Alan Moore comix - watchmen, 4 promethea, 4 swamp thing, v for vendetta, 2 top 10, 1 tom strong. Think I'm short of that mark wrt. Kurt Busiek.)
Depending on how you count, I've read five or six books of George Orwell (animal farm, 1984, the four-volume collection of journalism), which I think is tops as far as non-genre writers go.
