Listopia > Most Read Authors

Who are the most read authors in your stats? Look at your list of the authors you read the most. As we can only list books here, go to the author's profile and list the "most popular" book he or she wrote, the one with the most ratings. For example, for Agatha Christie, one would use , "And Then There Were None." I am not including authors of comic books as those publication numbers can go too high.
