Books Millennials Read - Page 3

According to the latest Pew Research Center on book reading, 18 to 29-year-olds are the age group most likely to read a book in any format over the last year. Over 80% have done so compared to 73% of 30 to 49-year-olds, and only 70% of 50 to 65-year-olds have read a book in the last year. When asked why they read books, millennials are far more likely than older adults to say it's for a specific purpose such as work or school; but they are equally likely to read for pleasure or to keep up with current events.
