Read Any Good Books Lately? Say In the Last Year?
Posted by: David Bunch
So how about you? How much do you read? And what are you reading now?
An Associated Press poll has found that one in four adults read no books in the last year. Of those who read, the average reader consumed four books.
Who are the 27 percent of people the AP-Ipsos poll found hadn't read a single book this year? Nearly a third of men and a quarter of women fit that category. They tend to be older, less educated, lower income, minorities, from rural areas and less religious. At the same time, book enthusiasts abound. Many in the survey reported reading dozens of books and said they couldn't do without them.
So my question is, do Apostolics fare better than the national average? Have more than 25% of us read a book in the last year, and if so, how many have we read?
I can hardly function if I don't have at least one book going at all times. Usually, I have two or three going at the same time! This is not because I'm trying to sound super smart or something, it's just because I enjoy reading so much.
So how about you? How much do you read? And what are you reading now?
