Now I don't believe everything I see in polls, because the questions can be asked to get the answer desired. Pollsters are tricksy people. In this case though, I am going to accept the poll at face value, the question seems straightforward enough.

This, to me, who consumes books at a rate of 9 or 10 a month, is just shocking. What the hell is wrong with Americans? Grrr. Just pisses me off.
