Taking just the top 1000 works of fiction in English at Project Gutenberg, here’s a list of authors who have more than 2 titles on the list, ranked by the average rank of their work. The number of works they have in the top 1000 is also given.
Obviously, authors are penalized substantially by having even one weak success among their other titanic successes. I guess you could look at it as a prediction about how likely someone would be to enjoy literally a random popular work by a prolific author, but really, this is just for fun.
