A recent AP-Ipsos poll on reading habits revealed some interesting, although not really surprising, results:
* 25% of adults surveyed had not read any books at all that year.
* Of those who had read, 7 was the average number of books read. Women averaged 9 books, while men averaged 5.
* Women and retirees were the most avid readers.
* Religious works and popular fiction were the most popular.
* One in five readers read romance.
* Men read more biographies and history books than women.
*Conservatives accounted for 34% of the non-readers, while liberals and moderates accounted for 22%. (Why this is important, or even interesting, I'm not sure).
