Pages 124, 130, and 131 of the crosstab are fascinating. From page 124, the 4 indicators that you probably read a book are Race (white), Income (100k+), Voter registration status (registered), and party/ideology (not a centrist).

Yes, this is much more informative. The real separation is college degrees. Only 27% with a college degree read no books, whereas 56% with no college degree read no books. Once you get into 1+ book categories, the degree separation is much smaller.
