Only Three Fourths of Americans Read

This statistic is freaking me out. Apparently one in four Americans read no books at all last year. What is up with that? Also, the typical adult on average read only four books last year. Four! I read at least four books in a month, usually more like six. What do these people do with their time? It seems that it's people like you and me who keep the publishing industry afloat!

Now that I've tsk tsk'd the American people, how much do you read in a year? I'm setting up a new poll to ask everyone this question, so check it out.
