That survey would be a good idea. Thanks for the credit, but I think it's a real chicken or egg question. I am constantly amazed at how well read the crowd is here.

said it above & I’ll say it again ~booksandarticles is rocking thanks to you. You’re setting the bar and creating an educational powerhouse here on SN.

I would even go as far as saying people are reading 20% more, given how much is being shared on the site these days. But I obviously can’t quantify that. It might be interesting for you to do a survey or poll on that. How many books people are reading per year/quarter. Because I guarantee those metrics will increase if you keep doing what you’re doing.
