I don't know a lot about the US, either; me being in the UK.  

What I do know is:

I have over 4,000 books of my own.

I inherited my father's entire collection last year - approx 10,000 books.

I have a well stocked library about an hour from here.

Somehow, I don't think I need to worry about running out of things to read any time soon.

Rarely have a moment to get bored, either.  If I'm at home I'm either kid wrangling, doing stuff around the house, playing guitar, doing stuff on the computer, painting pictures and drawing stuff for the kids, or all that other stuff people have to do in order to live, such as eat shit and breathe.

When I'm out I'm usually kid wrangling, shopping or running other errands, and attending to the other mundanities of life, recording music, writing songs or playing with the band.

Some time in between all that I get chance to sleep and once in a while, read.  I finally got my nose into Foundation a couple of weeks ago.  Everything here has been so damn busy I think I've made it to Chapter 7.

If, however, I have to get more things to read at some distant point in the future, my family always seem to buy me books (yay them!) and in all honesty, books here aren't all that expensive, relative to other stuff.

So anyhow, I need this Gutenberg thing (yes, I heard of it quite a while ago) why?
