Read any good books lately?

The following statistics were true as of 1996 (American Booksellers Association stats, most recent survey results). I doubt they've improved much since then.

80% of US families did not buy or read a book in 1995.
70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last 5 years.
58% of the adult US population NEVER reads another book after high school.
42% of US college graduates NEVER read another book after graduation.
