It's a mixture. I would say that you would be surprised how many followers have actually read Twain, but I do think it's about a 60/40 split between people who got into Twain through TV/Movies vs. the actual books. But honestly, the fact that this exists on tumblr blew my mind. So many 'kids'/young adults are contributing fan-art and getting a chance to read passages and quotes from Twain. I think it's awesome.
