That's actually a kind of depressing list when you look at it. See how much higher Nora Roberts & Stephen King are than Plato?

okay, yeah, they're higher, but like the articles says it's because their outputs are higher. how many books by plato are there? five, plus or minus two? but roberts and king are writing machines. the science could be way more exact.

look at us, we're such book nerds.
