Scary statistics about book reading
I stumbled on Rich Burridge's weblog post about book statistics, it has some scary numbers :
Who is Reading Books (and who is not)
One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives. Many do not even graduate from high school.
58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.
42% of college graduates never read another book.
80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
57% of new books are not read to completion.
58% and 42% ?!?!? how is that possible !
