According to an article in the most recent issue of The Atlantic, a National Endowment for the Arts survey found that fewer than half of American adults read more than a a single book book in 2022. Is the National Endowment for the Arts still a thing after DOGE?
Are schools still teaching reading? Is the problem charter schools and home schooling? This may be “old man syndrome,” but I think the population of this country is getting dumber and dumber. You want proof? Look who got a majority of the vote for President in 2024.
I've always been in love with knowledge, the worlds presented to me in books, both histories and fiction, are real worlds. How does the passion for reading break down demographically?
