So what are the most popular authors among users of Project Gutenberg? For privacy reasons, PG doesn’t track this as closely as it could, but here are the probable biggies as reported by PG founder Michael Hart in an email today to the eBook Community list:

Mark Twain
Jules Verne
A. Conan Doyle
Charles Dickens
Lewis Carroll
Leo Tolstoi
Nietzsche
Melville
Poe
Daniel Defoe
Einstain
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Jane Austen

PG also finds a heavy demand for “some reference works” and a “surprising” amount of fiction and non-fiction about the Wild West.

Strange, but I thought that e-books were supposed to threaten culture as we know it. Perhaps the big names on PG’s hit list can calm down the AAUP.
