The Sad Fact
Posted by Amy Fischer on 10/20/2020
According to a recent survey, people are reading more. With quarantines and travel restrictions, many people are picking up books. Real books!!
Although reading habits changed in 2020, the U.S., however, ranked the lowest in reading habits compared to other countries. India, Thailand, and China earned the top three spots.
It is alarming, troubling, and sad that 27 % of Americans did not read a single book this year.
