"Reading is an engagement of the imagination with life experience. Humans are hard-wired for story. . .we possess the power to be moved." Timothy Eagan writes a blog, "Book Lust", and I quote from his entry 2/28/08 in the New York Times.
According to the Associated Press 27% in a sample interviewed had not read a book lately. However, three out of four people do read for pleasure.
Another 27% read more than 15 books a year. Do not despair! We continue to be a literate society.
