Summarize Argument
The author concludes that national campaigns encouraging people to read more fiction have been largely unsuccessful. This is because bookstore revenue from fiction sales has decreased over the last five years.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that bookstore revenues are a reliable signal of fiction reading generally. This means assuming that bookstore fiction sales haven’t been siphoned off by greater library use or sales from another type of retailer. It also means assuming that bookstores haven't sharply lowered fiction prices for some reason.
