Survey about Decreasing Trends in Reading

The Associated Press just released a survey on reading habits across the nation.

Turns out the West and MidWest read the most. The things most read include the Bible, religious books and Harry Potter. I'm wondering if there is a connection?

One in 4 people didn't read a book last year.
The average (claimed) was 4 books read last year.
Women read more.
Senior adults read the most.

Supposedly our decreasing literacy action is due to television, movies and the Internet. Who would'a thought?

So stop reading this and pick up a book.
Does a Sudoku puzzle count as a book?
I tried to find an online video summary of this article but couldn't. So you'll have to read it for yourself online HERE.
