Huffpost...read the fine line. These aren't the most read cities. It's just a list of cities that prefer to shop online rather than visiting an actual bookstore. Shopping on Amazon doesn't equal well read.

I wish people in Ohio would read more and attend megachurches less. They are letting John Kasich get away with robbing and fracking the entire state.

Birmingham, AL didn't make the list!? Poppycock! Do a search of book purchases based on college football and fried foods and I'm sure we'll be #1.

Wouldn’t these just count as the top twenty cities that either have no book stores or whose citizens can’t be bothered to go to one?

They also might be the top 20 cities with Kindle owners or maybe the top 20 cities with people who would rather shop books online than in stores. Not every well-read person in the country buys books on Amazon.

Ann Arbor, MI? Seriously? Is this a qualitative or quantitative analysis? I've been to Ann Arbor (and all over Michigan), and their position on the list quite frankly surprises me.
