Reading decline in America fuels concern, NEA report says
The National Endowment for the Arts reports 17 million more non readers from 1992 to 2002. Only 47 percent of adults read literature in 2002, down from 54 percent a decade earlier, and 57 percent read any book, down from 61 percent. NEA chair Dana Gioia calls the trend alarming and attributes it to a cultural shift to electronic media.
