I would think that many people in the villages have read many of these books ,I loved Confederacy Of Dunces it still rings true. Books are still popular even among the young they just don’t read as many hard covers , but sales are up for books on tape , tablets and other forms , I had the first reaction to the Harry Potter reaction as the op until I realized that the book had a wonderful impact on younger people causing so many to take up reading and realizing the excitement that books can bring, for me it was Treasure Island maybe not a literary giant , but took this young boy on his first adventure , I can still hear the squeaky gate at the Admiral Ben Bow Inn banging in the breeze
