More than a third of UK adults have given up reading for pleasure, study finds
Jul 24 2024
Half of adults in the UK do not regularly read for pleasure, according to new survey data.
The study, commissioned by the charity the Reading Agency, saw 15% of adults reporting that they have never been regular readers, and 35% saying that they are lapsed readers, meaning that they used to read regularly for pleasure, but rarely or never do now.
