Where do people read more books during a year?

Realizing a research on internet, I just found a curious question: In which country do people read more books? Do you know where? I clicked on it to read more. In 2011, a company realized an inquest asking 1600 persons from different countries. The result showed that India is the country where people dedicate a bit more than ten hours a week to read, just followed by Tailandia on second place. On third place, China was mentioned, followed by Philipines, Egipt, Czech Republic and Rusia. An inquest realized already five years ago and the results probably might have changed, or not. What do you think? Could you imagine results are right? And how many hours a week do you dedicate reading books?

That's an interesting research. I wish I can spend 10 hours to read weekly. I think we used to spend more time before we have the Internet, now we might read more online.

Internet is great and offers plenty of information. Beside, it contains some risk as we start to search one special point and get lost reading maybe twenty different articles which havn't got anything to do with what we looked for at the beginnig. Sometimes, Internet is jungle where we get lost and spend too much time.

@Meramar I suppose we must have statistics for everything.

@RubyHawk Or some people have to justify all the time that they are "working" or busy doing something.

It's quite possible for China and India to occupy top places giving consideration to its population. If it will be in percentage of population then results might be different.

That's right. The review I've read didn't mention if they considered this date when they realized their study, maybe they didn't.
