Reading - A Lost Art?

According to a poll by the Associated Press-Ipsos, one in four Americans didn't read a single book last year. Of those who did read, the average number of books read last year was seven; The largest number of readers were women and older people. Non-readers tended to be less educated, lower income and live in rural areas. ABC has a complete story here.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw the other day that went something like "People who don't read have no advantage over those who can't read."
