Unread It and Weep:

An annual report says San Diego is only the 38th most literate big city in the country. That's still better than L.A. (60th) but way behind San Francisco (6th) and Washington D.C. (1st).

Our library system's woes sure can't have helped our score, which took things like bookstores, education and the Internet into account. Then again, warm-weather cities (with the exception of Atlanta) don't score well. Is that because we're all at the beach? Or is it so sunny - with sunsets like this one - that our brains are fried?

But there's some good news, maybe. Another report says San Diego has an uptick in college graduates choosing to move here - or at least fewer of them are leaving.
