    Due to significant technical issues, the announcement has been postponed until next week.
    I thank the publisher for being patient, and not announcing on their own.

    Social media is a part of it because reading is a rather anti-social behavior, the quieter the better for most folks. It's also time (money) consuming. TV, internet and if you look up the number of hours people spend watching porn every year, you'll be amazed.

    I think you’re right. Social media at least gets people to read, although it’s probably mostly not the type of reading that can better a person.

    you need to research this one online - fortunately most/all of that information/statistics are incorrect. The stats were from a 2002/2003 talk and some of the numbers were inferred from the actual question - which asked how many high school and college graduates had read a book in the past year (not lifetime) - and then they inverted the numbers to get above statistics - but left out the part that the survey was how many books read in past year - not lifetime. So the numbers are still pretty poor I am sure, and the internet, social media have things to do with it - but the stats in this graphic are not correct - just do a search.

    Then, as you said, fortunately the information is incorrect. However, I have to say, the statistics don’t seem far off when I think about my various peers throughout my life who didn’t read unless they had to for school, etc. I realize this means barely anything in terms of what the reality actually is, but these stats feel accurate. Perhaps I need to elevate my circles.
