Not directly related to books, but definitely related to leisure time.
The PEW Internet & American Life Project has released a study on “Adults and video games.” The study says that “Some 53% of American adults age 18 and older play video games,” and that 21% play a game everyday. That’s a lot of people playing a lot of games.
I for one readily admit that video games have taken a bite out of some of my leisure time and definitely out of some of my reading time. Anyone else willing to admit to the same?
The report has lots of other interesting tidbits.
