But now you'll excuse me, I need to get back to scarfing down hot dogs while staying hot on the heels of Tulku Thondup. Thanks for your proliferous-piquant thoughts Jeff.

Other prolific authors, from a google search that produced 484,000 sites, are Alexander McCall Smith, Isaac Asimov and Tulku Thondup, author of Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook with a CD of Guided Meditations. Still alive and kicking, McCall Smith typically bangs out 3,000 words a day. And here's another thought on prolificacy from George Murray, poet and co-editor of the literary blog Bookninja.com. He sees the near-annual release of a new Stephen King novel as “the literary equivalent of watching a skinny Japanese dude scarf down 100 hot dogs in an eating contest; you are kind of grossed out, but gotta hand it to him.” Congratulations on entering that sometimes painful contest Steve!
