    Pfft. Rowling’s sold an estimated 600-650 million books (22 titles). Agatha Christie sold an estimated 2-4 billion books (86 titles).

      now do a count per years of release and calculate how many jk rowling would sell if her books were out for the same amount of time?

      or is the bible the greatest piece of fiction ever?

      Interesting. I guess there is a lot of metrics and rules to apply to make a count. Still, she’s like 2nd?

        4th, apparently after Christie, Barbara Cartland, and Danielle Steel. What entertains me is in 5th is Enid Blyton with 800 books!

        7th of male and female authors.
