We are living in an age where the printed word is more important than it has ever been before. Literacy rates,showing what percentage of people can read, have never been higher and illiteracy is largely a thing of the past. Just take a look at the room around you and there are words and messages everywhere. The morning newspaper, the report which lies on our desk in the office and the electronic texts which flash up on our computer screens--these are just a few of the things we read during a normal day. The simple fact is that more people are reading more than ever before. It is important to recognize this fact when people say that television and video are taking over and nobody reads any more.There are, however, fewer bookworms around. A bookworm is one those people cannot stop reading. They always have their nose in a book and read for pleasure. They can walk along a street, with a book in front of then and not notice the world go by. They have books with them and around them whenever they go. Quite simply, they just love leading. There used to be a lot of then, but now they are a dying breed.Television, video and the wide range of social and recreational opportunities which are now available have taken the place of books in many homes. School children and students still have to read but the usually read because they have to, rather than because they enjoy it. Once they have left school or college, many feel that they never want to open a book again. In England 44% of the population say that they never buy a book and a further 1%buy only one book a year. In contrast to this there have been 55,000 new books published in England this year as compared to just under 12,000 in 1950 when people were supposed to be spending more time reading for pleasure and relaxation in an age which was pre-TV。
