It gets worse, apparently the American Bookseller's Association* goes as low as 10 books a year to qualify as an "avid reader".

Around here that is barely getting your foot in the water. Apparently a bunch of people who obsess over e-readers, e-books, paper books, and all things book related aren't "average" when it comes to how many books they read and buy. Who woulda thunk it?

*I didn't find a direct link to them saying this, but found a couple websites that state it. 1 2
