I'd go with Isaac Asimov. He's the only author in the world with a book in every Dewey Decimal System category.

I hate to say it, but i'm guessing Barbara Cartland. She certainly holds the record for the most novels in a year - at a staggering 23, i think.

LOL. I would have guessed Stephen King (and all his aliases)

Trollope could crank 'em out.
