The winners and the losers
• Loser: One in four Americans did not read a book at all last year, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll. This means that, despite the wild scramble to get the last Harry Potter book as soon as it hit the stores, the written word is losing its punch. It also could mean a general loss of imagination, discovery and a host of other things one tends to get from reading and from no other source.
