Topic: American Readers

10-second review: Are Americans readers? Garrison Keillor: “Most books that are sold in America are not read, and we know this.”

Source: The Writer (April 2005), 8. The Writer is a magazine by writers for writers.

Comment: The question is, why should Americans read when they have so many other things to do for entertainment (TV and movies), information (Internet), cell phones, text messaging, video games, etc. My answer? Read for ideas. Expand your consciousness. RayS.
