Most people don't read at ALL once they leave school. Of the people that read, the most read genre is romance. The widest read genre is mystery.

I do not disagree with your first statement. Unfortunately, too many people younger than me never read novels at all. However, your statistics link (what I can see of it - I'm not registered) doesn't include general fiction. So, it's kindof apples and oranges.

This one shows over time what has sold. Most are general fiction, with a handful of fantasies thrown in (i.e. Harry Potter and LOTR).
