I was crawling around the internet last night, and for some reason it struck me to compare the number of fans authors have on facebook (some authors have more than one page because people don't know how to search properly on facebook, and in the purpose of cleanliness only the combined number will be shown).
Biggest Legion Found: Dan Brown, 144, 742
Smallest Group Found: Betty Smith, 91 Fans
Greatest Unexpected Reality: Paul Auster, 35, 887 Fans
J.K. Rowling: 69,912 Fans
Stephanie Meyer: 30, 400 Fans
Danielle Steel: 30, 030 Fans
Nora Roberts: 16, 077 Fans
Stephen King: 141, 521 Fans
Dean Koontz: 36, 590 Fans
Fyodor Dostoyevsky: 34, 164 Fans
Leo Tolstoy: 17, 651 Fans
Norman Mailer: 1,692 Fans
Gore Vidal: 6, 043 Fans
Harper Lee: 287 Fans
Truman Capote: 10, 437 Fans
Ernest Hemingway: 10, 631 Fans
William Faulkner: 11, 740 Fans
Nathaniel Hawthorne: 1, 614 Fans
Edgar Allen Poe: 32, 487 Fans
Philip Roth: 1, 620 Fans
Don DeLillo: 897 Fans
Kurt Vonnegut: 17, 662 Fans
Ray Bradbury: 17, 615 Fans
So that doesn't include Austen, Dickens, Salinger, Orwell, Kerouac, Joyce, Jackson, Mann, Forster, Cheever, Carver, or an absurd number of others, but I think it gets the job done.
