[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 45 and almost all of my friends read. My circle of "mom friends" all read, but yes mainly chick lit, mysteries, and best sellers. A good percentage of my work colleagues read as well (ranging in age from 25-60). I wonder if the fact that we're in an arts field correlates to producing readers? This circle reads more widely - lots of nonfiction and classics, also books in translation. I read about 80 books a year - a mix of contemporary award winners (Women's Prize for Fiction, Booker, International Booker, National Book Award, etc.), classics (I read all of Proust last year as an example), nonfiction on historical biographies/exploration/etc., and lighter fare like mysteries and historical fiction. Both of my kids read (they are boys 14 and 12)[/quote] how do you have time?[/quote]
