Sad Book Stats

This just breaks my heart. From Para Publishing:

58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.

70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.

80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.

What are these people thinking? These numbers are so unbelievable that I'm skeptical of the numbers. I can't go a day without having a book near my person.
