Am I the only one who thinks those figures indicate a *higher* proportion of readers than might be expected?
Unless I'm misinterpreting, that means that more than 50% of Americans read at least 20 books a year (i.e. averaging a book every 2.5 weeks or so). That may not seem much to members of a forum such as this, but for non-fanatical readers with busy lives, a book every 2 or 3 weeks seems like pretty good going.
