The best read cities in the US, 2014
Amazon just published their annual listing of the best read cities in the US over the past year and Alexandria, Virginia, tops the list.

Also noted in the article:

Quote:
Inferno by Dan Brown was the best-selling book overall in Alexandria, Va., followed by Divergent by Veronica Roth and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Divergent was the most-read book by Goodreads users in Alexandria.

While Alexandria, Va. bought the most books overall, Cambridge, Mass. bought the most print books, and Knoxville, Tenn. purchased the most Kindle books.

Seattle, Wash.--home to Amazon.com's corporate headquarters--made the biggest gain this year, jumping from the #13 spot in 2013 to #4.

Cambridge, Mass. continues to grow more budding entrepreneurs than any other city, ordering the most books in the Business & Investing category. Top titles include Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and perennial best seller StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath.

Looking only at cities with more than 1 million residents, San Diego, Calif. is the most well-read.
