The National Endowment for the Arts released their report “Reading on the Rise� on 12 January documenting that for the first time in 25 years, more Americans are reading.
According to the demographic breakdown, young adults show the biggest increase and fiction is the largest growing market in adult readers.
Online readers also report reading books. 84% of adults who read literature (fiction, poetry, or drama) on or downloaded from the Internet also read books, whether print or online - and nearly 15 percent of all U.S. adults read literature online in 2008.
