80 percent of U.S. families did not buy or read a book last year.

According to a study back in 2003
Quote:
One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
42 percent of college graduates never read another book after college.
80 percent of U.S. families did not buy or read a book last year.
70 percent of U.S. adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
57 percent of new books are not read to completion.

I googled for updated figures, but to no result, and the blogger is awaiting an update from the surveyors. Do you think these figures have changed a lot?
