There is no author index for that list. The best thing you can do is use your browser's find feature.

The list Ismaa linked to says this at the top:
"This page tells you which authors and titles are included on which great books lists. For more information, see my Great Books page"
The Harry Potter entry says it was recommended by The Telegraph, not by Bloom.

Elizabeth, I used the same link, but have discovered how I messed up, I used the Authors index to search and assumed it was showing me the Authors alphabetically in Western Canon. My mistake. Will correct.
Thanks
