The proportion of adults reading some kind of so-called literary work — just over half — is still not as high as it was in 1982 or 1992, and the proportion of adults reading poetry and drama continued to decline. Nevertheless the proportion of overall literary reading increased among virtually all age groups, ethnic and demographic categories since 2002. It increased most dramatically among 18-to-24-year-olds, who had previously shown the most significant declines.
So-called literary work? What is it about people that they become such fucking literary snobs? Especially at the NYTimes? Can most Americans read? Yes. Then who gives a shit if they are reading Nora Roberts or not? Furthermore, many people, particularly men, prefer non-fiction, which I don't think is counted in this survey.
Lastly, who knew the Pat Schroeder had become the chief of the publishing industry lobbying group. Not FLG?
