Tattered Essence

A recent poll was conducted on the reading habits of adults in America. Some 25% of all adult Americans did not read any books in the past year and on average, adults read four books in the last year, but those who read love reading, an AP/Ipsos poll has found.

The most avid readers are women and seniors; religious works and popular fiction are the top categories. More men than women are nonreaders, and they tend to be older, less educated, lower income, minorities, from rural areas and less religious.
