美国最博览群书的城市是什么？马萨诸塞州剑桥市位居榜首

对该名单中一些最博揽群书的城市感到惊奇吗？不要惊奇。这些城市大部分是著名大学的所在地，就连居住在迪斯尼后院的人们也喜欢有时打开一本书，想象一下自己的魔幻王国。

What's surprising to us, though, is the fact that some of the most populated—and most traditionally bookish—cities didn't make the cut. New York City, the largest city in the U.S., isn't on the list, for example, and neither is Minneapolis, which was named the most-literate city in the country back in 2008. (Since this was the first year they compiled the list, Amazon representatives told me that they had no expectations about which cities would be on it.)

但是真正使我们感到惊奇的是人口最密集，传统上最爱读书的城市并没有上榜。例如，美国最大的城市纽约不在榜单上，而早在2008年就被称为国家最有文化的明尼阿波里斯市，也没有上榜单。（由于今年是亚马逊公司列出这份榜单的第一年，亚马逊的代表人员告诉我他们没有期望哪些城市会列入榜单。）

So, what are these well-read people reading? Cantabrigian go for the serious stuff, it seems; according to Amazon's analysis, Cambridge was also the city that ordered the most non-fiction books. The residents of Boulder ordered the most books in the cooking, food, and wine category. Kids are in control in Alexandria, which bought the most children's books. And the Sunshine State seems to take its summer reading seriously: Florida was the only state to have three cities in the top 20.
