Goodreads: Most read authors

I'm a member of three social reading network sites. I joined Shelfari and LibraryThing in 2008 and Goodreads in 2009.

In terms of shelving, the Goodreads shelf is my favorite. Although shelf widgets are best handled by Shelfari, Goodreads has several reader-friendly features like determining which writers you've read the most. Here's my most read writers, sans genre authors which I've excluded.
