Commentary Monday, May 25, 2009 The value of reading literature More Americans reading fiction by WKSU's PAUL GASTON |
 Commentator Paul Gaston | | |
| This is the time of year when people start planning their Summer reading list. The National Endowment For The Arts released a survey showing that over the last six years, the percentage of adult Americans who read works of literature has increased by about four percent. According to the N-E-A, more than half of adults read fiction, poetry, or drama. That's good news, says the N-E-A. But WKSU commentator Paul Gaston isn't so sure.

NEA:
- Fiction (novels and short stories) accounts for the new growth in adult literary readers.
- Reading poetry and drama continues to decline, especially poetry-reading among women.
- Online readers also report reading books. Eighty-four percent of adults who read literature (fiction, poetry, or drama) on or downloaded from the Internet also read books, whether print or online.
- Nearly 15 percent of all U.S. adults read literature online in 2008.
