I can well believe the statistic, though it makes me sad. I read a lot. Lately it's been non-fiction.

"Guns, Germs, and Steel" - why Europe stomped the rest of the world in spite of the others' apparent head start.
"The sacred prostitute" - bringing back the physical to the sacred. Also sacred femininity. Small book, but kind of heavy in some places.
Fiction: "The Name of the Rose" Umberto Eco.
One I just finished: "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers"- talking about pagan groups.

I'll have to look and see what else I have. My pleasure reading is somewhat curtailed during school; I'm reading a lot for that.
