     If the average American reads 2 books a year... 

  Heather:
  I can't believe it's accurate, or it doesn't take college books into account. Because that accounts for 4-15 books a year, per student. Then high schools, where you're required to buy your books (I usually averaged 6-20 a year, there). Then libraries, eBooks (prolly not included, but 2003 might not have made a difference). And, the comment about it probably being Nothing Read vs. Lots would have a lot of merit. And a lot of corporate passing-books-around, lending things... I just can't believe 2 a year. I'd... go crazy :) I'm slow if I'm on 3 a week.
