US Reading Habit Facts of the Day

Book Reading Statistics in the USA;

  • 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.
  • Most readers do not get past page 18 in a book they have purchased.


Would love to hear from Tyler Cowen- for the last two years I've bought more books recommended by Marginal Revolution than by any other blog.
