In a 2024 survey of adult readers who read books at least several times a month, 43% named self-improvement or personal growth as a reason for reading. Enjoying reading was named by 38%, relaxation by 31%, and learning new things by 23%. Respondents could choose multiple reasons, so the percentages are not expected to add up to 100%.
