For the sixth year in a row, it's time to see what your state was reading last year! Some highlights: 2021 was the year of birdwatching, with three states overcome by the craze. Dune is enjoying its first year on the list over in California, no doubt inspired by the recent movie. Fahrenheit 451 is on its sixth straight year on the list, the only book to make the list every year! Conversely, for the first time The Great Gatsby did not make the list—maybe officially everyone's read it?
To figure out what book might have taken Gatsby's place, take a look at last year's map to see how they compare, or go even further with the lists for 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 for a more comprehensive look at how reading has changed.
