Last year I covered that fact that, well--how do we say this politely?--most writers are only sexy for their brains. It says something (figuratively, unless psychosis is kicking in for you) that doing a Google search, again, using "good looking authors" this time (as opposed to "sexy authors" last time) brings a return question by Google asking, "Did you mean 'good looking actors'?"
So, let's look to see if any writers are turning heads for reasons other than their written work. The writers? Those listed as the top ten bestselling authors on Amazon.com as of May 25, 2010.
1.) Book: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
Author: Stieg Larsson
From the school of uncomfortable photography--
Middle-aged man paunch is a killer attribute for the ladies. Really, it's a killer. He's dead. From a heart attack.
2.) Book: George Washington's Sacred Fire
Author: Peter A. Lillback
Okay, so he looks like a spokesperson for the 700 Club. I half expect him to ask me to donate $40 a month so I can become a Gold Club Member.
3.) Book: Eat, Pray, Love: One Women's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia
Author: Elizabeth Gilbert
She appears to be one Birkenstock away from a one-woman Woodstock revival.
But she is the first person not overweight on the list. Not having heart disease can be appealing.
4.) Book: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Author: Stieg Larsson
Stieg is back! Figuratively, of course.
You usually only see such awkward grimacing during certain medical procedures.
5.) Book: Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
Author: Geneen Roth
It seems a certain someone is naming her books suspiciously like other books higher up on this list to confuse shoppers. Maybe that's why she's so happy.
6.) Book: Dead in the Family
Author: Charlaine Harris
Admittedly, writing at a computer all day is a sedentary lifestyle.
7.) Book: The Girl Who Played with Fire
Author: Stieg Larrsson
Stieg has resigned himself to his fate.
Worldwide fame and fortune after you die. It sucks.
8.) Book: Open Leadership: How Social Technology Can Transform the Way You Lead
Author: Charlene Li
Winner of the Most Boring Bestselling Book Title, Charlene is a rare double-threat with the most boring photo as well. Fourth grade class photos are more action-packed.
9.) Book: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Sometimes authors start to look like their characters.
10.) Book: The Help
Author: Kathryn Stockett
Soccer moms need someone to look up to.
But we here only have eyes for one man, whether he has a bestseller or not.
The one--
