Are we reading less or more? (WSJ)

Here’s a good Wall Street Journal article that examines the recent claims of declining reading rates in the US (Primarily the NEA report from last year). He takes the statistics to task and points out quite a few places where changes were overstated in the
report.

It’s worth reading the comments – the question of how online reading compares to book reading comes up in a few places.
