Think about it...
There are more books printed and translated into many languages than any point in human history. His fanbase of constant readers is MASSIVE and his books sell like crazy all over the world. Add to that how prolific he is and it makes me curious if anyone has ever had more human beings read their stories than Stephen King.

I think folks were illiterate when he wrote that and the Quran.
Given the current literacy rates, I'm going with Stephen King. He's a much better writer than God.

Samefagging here but I took a look at that wiki page...
R.L. Stine has outsold Stephen King by like 50 millions books. WTF?
J.K. Rowling is extremely impressive, actually. She's outsold them both by quite a bit with literally eleven books. Only seven that really, really sold. That's incredible...
