I read about 100 books a year, but then, I’m a stay at home mom, a quick reader (100 pages+ an hour) and I don’t watch telly. My husband likes to read, but his brain gets so overworked at his job, he deserves the downtime he gets in front of the t.v. He reads on his vacation, or on the plane when he’s on business trips. This puts him firmly in the 4 books a year category, not counting the thousands of pages of documents he reads (and writes) for his work.
Literacy is not dead. It’s just exhausted.

There was a time in the not so distant past when books were considered “downtime.”
