I worked in a (couple of) bookstores. This is unsuprising. Most of the teenagers that came in were looking for clif notes. When I suggested they "read the actual book, the responces varied from blank stares to outright hostility toward the idea. go figure. Most people would rather have their entertainment spoon-fed to them.

I heard a statistic once that it's like 5% of america that keeps the bookstores open. It always made me angry, that so many people are openly hostile to the idea of reading.
