The USA - "a nation of avid readers"? is an essay by the German researcher and writer Annette Zerpner.
Despite the prejudice felt by "old Europe" against a nation of permanent TV watchers who regard a trip to Disneyland as a cultural activity, the book is a medium of value to many US Americans, and they are far less conscious when approaching it in forums and talks with authors. The deeply ingrained, fundamentally democratic view that everyone's opinion is at least worth hearing contributes to this attitude.
