Adults and reading

Did you read the articles about the Associated Press-Ipsos poll with the headlines about 1 in 4 adults read no books last year?
Can you believe it! Instead of celebrating 75% of adults who do read a book every year, they chose to underscore the number of healthy reading habits for American adults. There are so many things going on in our lives -- and most of us read every day. Sure you do. You read road signs, cereal boxes, instructions, newspapers, and internet information. You read fiction for escapism, and you read nonfiction when you want to know something. A good biography can be inspirational, historical and just plain entertaining. Car repair manuals, quilt books, baseball coaching, cookbooks are in continuous demand in book stores, libraries and on your home bookshelf. So don't try to convince me that adults are not reading.

What is your favorite reading habit? Are you an internet junkie? Are you reading anything special right now? Let me know.
