From Stranger Fruit this morning (via BoingBoing)...
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.
As John points out, this goes a long way toward explaining why anti-evolutionism in particular, but anti-science in general, are so prevalent in the U.S. It also probably explains why Bush got elected twice...
