And I think it should stay that way, because the alternative is that it has to rebuild the author list when you hit back which means a time consuming database scan. If you want to do the time consuming database scan anyway, then hit home and then re-select the author list.

This can't be fixed without a painful time delay or properly indexing the database by author. I'm sure there's some reason they don't have an index there already that can quickly count the books by an author.

It's not just the author list that has this issue, but also the category list, for the same reason. Personally, I'd rather have a faster category list that doesn't include any counts unless I'm sorting by count.
