Am pretty sure it's about there being 563298531 books by those authors in libraries and not about reading preferences.

Yep. Patterson in particular takes up entire floor to ceiling shelves, because he basically has a licensing empire of sorts going on using his name; idk if he provides a synopsis to his ghost/co-writers or just lets them write whatever the fuck and stick his name above theirs on the cover. Well, that, and the anon's dismissal of non white male and unfair opinion of millennial female authors.

And afaik Connelly is writing his own stuff and not basically the owner of his own ghostwriting/work for hire stable, so there's that going for him compared to Patterson. And also he's not Dan Brown, who I am kind of judgy about.

I don't know how similar they are since I've only skimmed a couple of books by each of them, but if I were to guess based on other authors requested by people who read Michael Connelly, anon I was replying to might also enjoy Jan Burke, Harlan Coben, John Grisham... idk, it's 2:30 am here and if I had the stacks in front of me and colleagues to ask I'd have a better list.
