Twenty-seven percent???

A sad statistic from AP this morning: 27% of American adults haven't read a book in the past year.

The poll reports that oddly, those of us in the Northeast are least likely to pick up a book - due to competition from the Internet and other media (on-demand movies?). And of course, in rural areas, reading is a less likely pursuit.

Perhaps if rural areas were better served by bookstores, there'd be a little shift in these numbers.
