Benford's Law & Book Reading
Hypothesis: When someone is reading a book (in public), the page they are reading follow the pattern implied by Benford's Law.
In other words: You see lots of people in public, reading a book, at the very beginning of the book (open to one of the first few pages); you see a bit fewer reading the middle portion of the book; and even fewer reading near the end of the book; and so forth.
Explanation: People start reading lots of books, but give up easily, and few even make it to the end.
