Nice to know that I live in an area that enjoys reading books. I'm a little worried about their statistical method though- has my Amazon addiction skewed the results? Because I buy a lot of books. If another list has the northern Virginia among the top music sales areas for the country, especially for actual CDs, then I know it because of me.
Alexandria, Va., Tops Amazon
Best-Read Cities List
(Associated Press, May 15, 2012)
Alexandria, Va., is having a love affair with books. The historic suburb outside of Washington,
D.C., tops Amazon.com's list of best-read cities per capita over the past year,
based on sales of books, newspapers and magazines. Romance novels are
especially popular in Alexandria, according to the online retailer, which
released the list Tuesday. Alexandria was immediately followed by several
college towns: Cambridge, Mass.; Berkeley, Calif.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; and
Boulder, Colo. Municipalities on the list all have populations of more
than100,000. Rounding out the top 10
were Miami, Fla.; Arlington, Va.; Gainesville, Fla.; Washington, D.C.; and Salt
Lake City.
