The website that the above tags can be found at is http://www.librarything.com/work/3513
I chose the book Illiterate America by Johnathan Kozol. The reason I chose this book is becuase it embodies everything that I am writing my blog about. Kozol discusses the impact that illiteracy has on us as a society and how it effects those that are illiterate and even those that aren't.
The tag that I found had the most hits was "education" at 21. This shows that when people using LibraryThing think about illiteracy they view education is one of the most important things to promote helping stop illiteracy . If education can be improved for children and immigrants to the country then rates might fall and illiteracy might become a smaller problem for adults later in life.
