The only group where preferences were similar across the board was amongst political groups – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans all named the Bible and Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind their top two books respectively. In reference to the polls according to race, Whites and Hispanics chose Gone with the Wind as their second choice while African Americans favored Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. We’d like to conduct a future poll among Korean Americans to see where their reading interest is as well as where the Bible would rank within their top ten list.
