America’s Biggest Readers

“Americans buy more than two and a half billion books per year—about nine each for every man, woman and child in the country. Most Book readers are bigger book readers than that, but what about those impressive few who read way, way more? They’re the folks we sought out for our first list of America’s Biggest Readers. We canvassed libraries and bookstores and publishing professionals and our friends, and we found ten people (well, eleven, really—you’ll see) who plow through more books more quickly than just about anyone we know. It’s a cross section of big-reading Americans, some of whom are absolutely the country’s most voracious readers—we’d be nuts not to include them—while others are quirkier choices. Think you read more than than this crowd? Then maybe we’ll see you here next time.” (from Book Magazine)
