I heard that over half of people in the US read at least one book per year, is that true?
I am not sure of the most current statistics, but according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2019, about 74% of American adults said they had read at least one book in the previous year. This means that a majority of people in the US do indeed read at least one book per year, which is positive news for lovers of literature. It's worth noting, however, that the definition of a "book" in this context includes e-books and audiobooks in addition to print books, so it's possible that some of those respondents did not read a print book specifically.
How many have read a non-fiction book? Watch the stats plummet to nearly nothing. Non-fiction is where you get in depth information and historical context for current events. Half the country is unread and easily mislead.
