Interesting Fact About Americans

Though te United States of America is considered a book-friendly country but it is just a propaganda, the Americans have no interest in reading books. This interesting result was revealed in a research. According to the study of Bureau of Labour Statistics America citizens read a minute on the average and it is an average on total basis, otherwise the situation in the youth in regard is worst. If the young generation from 20 to 24 years of age spare 10 minutes for reading, whereas, people ageing from 25 to 34 spend only 8 minutes on reading. Similarly, 45 percent people of 17 years age admitted that they take trouble for a few minutes to open a book. This rate was 19 percent in 1984. More interesting thing is that Americans spent their time in sleeping, playing, eating and working. Due to having no interest in reading Americans are weak in general knowledge and majority of them do not know the names of their secretaries of state except that of US president, what to speak of having knowledge about international and current affairs.
