Minneapolis Most literate city?

A new study claims that Minneapolis, Minnesota is the most literate city in the US. I just don't know if I could take the cold. Of course, is it the most literate because it is so cold? What else you going to do in that cold?

A new study takes that principle a step further, ranking the USA's "most literate" cities not by how many residents can read, but by various measures of how many do. And by those measures, Minneapolis is the most literate, El Paso, the least.

The study examines the extent to which residents of the USA's largest 79 cities behave in literate ways - such as buying newspapers and books or checking materials out of the library.
