Via Booklad:
-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.
-57% of new books are not read to completion.
-Most readers do not get past page 18 in a book they have purchased.
-Customers 55 and older account for more than one-third of all books bought.
Further proof that our situation is closer to that of Brave New World, rather than 1984.
