JK Rowling: decade's most successful author
USA Today's Best-Selling Books List notes the achievements that JK Rowling has made in the field of literature and how she has grown to be the decade's most successful author:

Before Rowling there was J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, a best-selling trilogy before it hit the big screen. But Tolkien "appealed more to the college crowd than to kids," says Gayle Feldman, whose study of the book business, Best and Worst of Times, was published last year. Feldman says Rowling "did nothing less than revive the pre-radio, pre-movies, pre-TV tradition of the family-reading book," the kind popularized by Charles Dickens and Walter Scott that were "both classic best seller and best-selling classic."

According to the article, JK Rowling has landed five of the top six spots on the list of the 100 best-selling books of the past 10 years.
