Where we live the population isn't that well educated, so my guess based upon watching others in waiting rooms across the area is probably less than 5% are reading something (including newspapers). Both my husband and I come from a family of readers, and most holidays we bring along books to exchange with the family "pile." We also have four children (ages 12, 14, 17 and 18) and they are all "readers." Even our just-graduated daughter continues to be a reader (and continues to write, thankfully).
My mother was a middle school English teacher for many years...we grew up with piles of books next to big comfy chairs. That has always been my normal.
