It's in my nature to want to defend the legitimacy of having your favourite book be Percy Jackson but obviously it is quite concerning that this seems to suggest (and probably definitely does) that most people don't read more difficult books.
Damn lol — “To summarize even further for those skimming:
58% of students understood very little of the passages they read
38% could understand about half of the sentences
5% could understand all seven paragraphs These are college students majoring in English. About half of them are English Education majors, which means they will be teaching books like Bleak House to high school students after graduating. But they themselves cannot understand the literal meaning of the sentences in the opening paragraphs.”
