Word.
SoG topped the NYT bestseller list, no? That book was big -- like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (another novel I will never, ever read), everybody knew somebody who was reading it and you were either sick of hearing about it ("GODDAMNIT I KNOW THE BACKSTORY I AM FAMILIAR WITH TWILIGHT WANK") or giving it a try for yourself. Whether or not that translates to bringing in a major audience, I have no idea, as I don't know what the SoG fandom is like right now. (Weren't they pretty active at one point? I seem to recall a wank about lingerie parties.) Regardless, it was hard to escape hearing about SoG this time last year.
CC isn't even close to that level of mainstream buzz and it's not because "people don't take genre/YA lit seriously." (That may be true, but that's not an obstacle CC has had a chance to face -- her primary problem is that her books are bad.)
