A Lackey lackey?

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, while that could be considered fairly shaming, in fairness, as a percentage, that's probably fairly low, given that Mercedes Lackey grinds out about a book a fortnight! Seriously, I'm convinced that she represents at least 20% of the Amazon list.

Another interesting thing might be re-reads vs. first time reads (perhaps by category- most of the mysteries were re-reads, for example), but frankly I can't be bothered.
