Poll: 80 Percent of Californians Have Read a Book for Fun in the Last Month

Despite hectic lives and competition from other forms of media, Californians are voracious readers and steadfast book lovers, according to results from the latest USC Dornsife College/Los Angeles Times Poll. Two-thirds of Californians say they like reading “a lot” and about one-fourth read at least a book a week.

About 18 percent of the Californians surveyed by the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Poll own a e-reader such as a Kindle, a Nook or an iPad.

For almost all of these tech-savvy readers, getting an e-reader has reinforced or enhanced the amount they read — 96 percent of those with an e-reader read the same amount or more books than they did before, including 34 percent who say they read more books now that they have an e-reader.
Well, that seems...high.
