I love to read and mystery is my very favorite genre! Well, the bookstores are certainly crowded, but maybe people are just there to look or have coffee.

It would take some research to determine the total population growth compared with the total books sales during those years, but that might be more accurate than the cited study, which depended on anecdotal information from individuals about how much they read. But then I'm not a statistician. You may be right.

Amazon and Barnes & Noble are expanding and selling more books than ever before. Most B&N stores have a huge novel section. They don't do that just because there are a lot of novels--they do it because novels sell. Now, the decline of reading of quality literature....that's a whole different story.

And on my 20 minute commute to and from work each day, I listen to books on tape. It's a shame that so many people don't find time to read. It adds so much to my life. I read a lot.
