Five years ago, sales of classic novels were going strong. So strong that Slate Magazine ran the article Cents and Sensibility - The Surprising Truth About Sales of Classic Novels. It is a very interesting article and one I urge you to read.
I'm betting that sales of classics are still strong today. Even if all readers such as myself stopped buying classics those high school and college english classes requiring classic novel reading would take care of sales. I wonder how many forced high-school or college readers actually turn into readers who start buying classics?

Chicken or the Egg? I wonder how many avid readers were just exposed to some new material or genres in high school or college classes?
