That's odd. It really must depend on your country. I certainly saw some Raymond Feist, and Trudi Canavan. I also found Robin Hobb when I searched, and I saw some Neil Gaiman. Under science ficion, I see Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Iain C. Banks, Richard Matheson, Dan Simmons, Raymond Feist -- just on the first page.

What shows up at the top also depends on how you sort. I sorted by most recent and got a lot of self-published stuff, but another sort showed those authors plus Octavia Butler, C. S. Lewis, Ian Douglas, Ben Bova, Greg Bear, Stephen Baxter, Timothy Zahn, Nancy Kress, and John Norman.

I hope they get this straightened out. It sucks to join expecting to read Hemingway, only to realize the only Hemingway book is by Mariel Hemingway.
