Its not an american problem... here in Brasil its just the same. People prefer doing anything else than reading... when they want to learn something, they watch TV... maybe thats why my country is so underdeveloped...
Coelho Reviewed by Coelho on . Alarming poll Does anyone else find the results of this poll as upsetting as I do? One in four read no books last year - Yahoo! News I was horrified to read this story earlier today. I normally read one to two books a week, at least when I'm not actively engaged in school. During the school year, I easily read the equivalent of one or two books per week in medical texts and other written information. How much do you read? Restore my faith in intelligence and literacy.
