Was there an option in the survey these Americans were presumably completing that allowed them to choose "not one" vs. "not one, proudly" ?In 1978, 42 per cent of Americans reported that they had read 11 or more books in the past year. In 2014, just 28 per cent can say the same, while 23 per cent proudly admit to not having read even one, up from eight per cent in 1978.
