Is it more common to use "neanche" at the end of the phrase? Also, could I say "Forse neanche leggono"?
'non...neanche' is a double negative, translating to 'not even'. This link has a list of some more double negatives:) https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-conjugate-italian-double-negatives-4085225
No, that would be "Forse non leggono neanche loro"; kind of "not even they" instead of "not even read".

It just accepted that for me (but I'm willing to believe it's wrong). I was guessing the answer in a test.
I also used 'either' (my first instinct was to use 'at all', but I don't trust Duolingo with that) and it was accepted! But that implies that the speaker also doesn't read. Is that implied in the Italian?

Pronounciation is not clear to me. I understood : "Forse non leggono NIENTE" Only in the slow version I could understand "neanche"
What is the difference between neanche and anche? Is it just a more negative connotation with neanche?
