[Poll #980885]

Note: "An award" does not mean that you are indiscriminate and will read something just because it won A. N. Award. If you occasionally read books because they win the Whitbread, but couldn't care less about the Nebula winner, tick "yes" for "I have occasionally read a book because it was nominated for or won an award." Similarly, if you've been debating about picking up a book and then an award tips you over the edge, that counts as a yes too. Use your own judgement for what counts as "occasionally" or "often".

Yeah, I saw THF. It also said a household is more likely to own two cars than two books.

Then I found the survey they'd clearly got this from and it was 200 couples and they'd found that 23% of couples had both read a book in 6 months vs 26% who owned a car each. It's a leap from that mad, flawed survey to say what the programme said, so take everythign there with a pinch of salt.

That said, it was great when they set fire to a lifetime's supply of farts.
