Shocking Facts about Books and Reading
I have posted some facts about books and reading below. I found the information at Dan Poynter’s ParaPublishing.com. All figures are from the United States - I hope that New Zealanders reading habits are better!
- One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
- 58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.
- 42% of college graduates never read another book.
- 80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
- 70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
- 57% of new books are not read to completion.
interesting stats but it would be nice to know your source
Yes, I am sorry about that. I have edited my post to add the source - Dan Poynter’s ParaPublishing.com.
