J.K. Rowling tops the list at #1. Where would rank W.Shakespeare? ************************************************** 07-17-05, 07:12 PM frankvan Wm. Shakespeare is #26. ************************************************** 07-17-05, 07:19 PM mozart56 Right on it Frankvan. Smile Source ************************************************** 07-17-05, 07:21 PM DorianGreyed I think Chairman Mao is still #1, at least in total book printed. His total books sold is extremely high, too. I will try to get figures for that. ************************************************** 07-18-05, 02:07 AM Jenny Roberts Here is the list for 2002. JK Rowling can't top that! The source that Mozart gave was the 'Amazon' best selling list. ************************************************** 07-18-05, 05:56 AM Fritzzs How can you include the "Bible" ? It is authorless..... ************************************************** 07-18-05, 08:28 AM frankvan Question was: J.K. Rowling is ranked #1, where does Shakespeare rank? If Mao or bible or something else is #1, Shakespeare is somewhere else in the rankings, No ? Wink ************************************************** 07-18-05, 10:13 AM DorianGreyed Frank is right, as usual. I didn't check the source, since I assumed that Mozart meant all time best selling authors without any other conditions. Obviously, I was wrong.
Fritzzs, the Bible does have authors. In fact, several are listed in the newer part. ************************************************** 07-18-05, 07:57 PM mozart56 Sorry about the misorientation of the question. Red Face ************************************************** 07-18-05, 10:55 PM DorianGreyed The fault is mine for not understanding. The question is fine. You asked where Shakespeare ranked on a list in which Rowling is first. I answered another question, not yours. ************************************************** 7-19-05, 09:11 AM Fritzzs

================================================ Sorry , but that is purely hypothetical with no fact... It is only a belief... ************************************************** Later Edit - Fritzzs, of course, is wrong. Someone wrote the Bible. In fact, at least 2 people had to be involved, since the Old Testament was in existence before Christ was born. But perhaps Fritzzs means that it was divinely written. In any case, someone wrote it; it could not be "authorless" as Fritzzs says. - DG ************************************************** 07-17-05, 07:12 PM frankvan Wm.

The Internet Public Library doesn't list Stine as one of the best selling authors, but obviously, he should be on their list. When I did my student teaching, almost all the 6th grade students I saw had one or more of Stine's books in their backpacks.
