Hmm, that's pretty interesting.
WOW!!!!
Truly sad! I've visited untold places through reading. I'm so thankful all my kids and all theirs love to read. It's been said reading to our children teach them to love reading. These stats likely reflect that state of the family in our country. Praise God we are not among these statistics!
