I'm proud to say that I'm one of those four!

Make the next book you read Fahrenheit 451.

Read it in like 7th grade. Ever hear of the not-for-profit organization Reading is Fundamental (RIF)? I'm going to start one called RIFL (Reading is for Losers).
Lemmings is a great album actually. Really funny. National Lampoon was great back then.
Liberals Read More Books Than Conservatives
This article doesn't really help the link's theory. The Midwest is normally much more conservative than other areas of the nation but yet they read more books. Weird.
#4 - Wed Aug 22, 2007 6:41 PM EDTI'm from the Midwest and I read on average 20 some odd books per year. Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Detroit and St. Louis all tend to lean toward the liberal.

I'm from the midwest as well, only about an hour or so away from St. Louis, and I average about 12 books a year. Which means that means the link I posted seems a little off.
The assertion that the midwest is more conservative than other areas of the nation is not entirely accurate, based on electoral votes it is actually about perfectly even overall.
I can provide links if I can figure out how to make em in here! I apologize for my ignorance on the linkage. ;o)
