    I read the same article, Dave, and was particularly struck by this "fun fact", one that echoes yours: "(According to Nielsen BookScan, Grisham's, King's and Brown's *combined* U.S. sales in recent years still don't match Patterson's.)" It's really a fascinating -- if somewhat disheartening -- article.
