Who Reads the Most: Cities, Suburbs, or Rural Areas?
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest nerd of them all?
It's time to settle this literary sparring match once and for all. Who reads more -- the bohemians and working stiffs of the city or the family-oriented folks of the suburbs?
According to a recent study released by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life project [PDF], prideful bookworms on both sides of the 8-Mile Road may bury the hatchet. City-dwellers and suburbanites have almost exactly the same reading habits. Four out of five residents over the age of 16, in city and suburb alike, claim to have read a book in the past year.
