For some reason I thought Euros would be more well read than Americans, but I guess that's not the case.

More than likely they are grouped in with everything else.

Who would ever believe this? Yanks don't read. They gorge themselves on McDonalds and doomscroll.

Yeah "some". Not the average American. Idk why you want to have nationalistic pride for something that is not and never has been our forté. we are not a nation of readers...

>>24873052
You mean the book sales that are so astronomically high that debut YA authors routinely get multimillion dollar contracts?
>>

I dont believe that.

It doesn't matter if you believe it. It simply is.

>>24873096
no one is getting a multi million dollar for a debut novel, you are retarded.

Euros coping ITT. The American and Pajeet seething is now especially ironic.

Not a chance.

It's actually France, Iran, and Turkey.

choose one. I'm a pajeet (I live in India) and nobody fucking reads. It's likely 16 pages per year.
Second-hand bookstores only sell crap that no one bought. Again, NO ONE READS.
>>
>>24873010
Tf do Indians read?
>>
>>24873010
eurocucks utterly BTFO'd once again
>>
>>24873021
no, the numbers are absolute
the entire of the us population reads a total of 17 books per year
>>
>>24873010
They sure think they're smarter though
>>
>>24873010
This data comes from a survey by CEOWORLD magazine, lmao

>>24873251
Yeah, multiple other times I've looked this up France is at the top.

Real talk. How badly are your people taking the Shit Festival video that just dropped?

>>24873010
Okay but what are they reading?
Which country is reading the most Plato and Aristotle?
>>
>>24873010
Does it go by book sales? I know a lot of people that buy books they will never read.
Regardless it's not that crazy.
Reading is down everywhere, the USA and India has a far larger population than the UK, France, or Italy. We might not see a lot of young folk read but older folk still do frequently. India's would probably be higher if all of them had the ability to participate in these studies.
>>
>>24874189
>population
It's per capita. I think it's just one guy who reads 2 trillion books a year.
>>
>>24874098
IDK I don't go on the indian side of the internet. It's just... shit. Honestly. Indians are just one step above niggers.
>>
>>24874281
BookReader-Georg must be excluded from the count
>>
>>24873840
You clearly haven't been around college students in North or Central India. South India too has many readers.

>>24874098
Not that anon, but most people didn't care. There was this Reddit thread that blew up, but then nobody gave a crap outside of reddit. That Oliviera guy initially tweeted that stuff to promote the video and piss off lefties. Most people who did get ragbaited were not even Indian.

Nigga I've been in colleges in Delhi, Mum, Kerela and Bhopal. Nobody fucking reads. I have trouble finding people that can write two passable sentences in english.

I seriously doubt these charts, because the English "book" does not translate well into other languages, so we have no idea what is meant with book exactly.
>>
>>24873010
>self-reported data
Absolutely worthless
>>
>>24873012
Maybe Canadians read books, we don't know. Frankly, we don't wanna know.
>>
I live in California and I don't know anyone who reads any books any year.
>>
>>24873010
If Americans read so much where did the steriotype of them being stupid come from?
>>
>>24875610
Jealousy. Same with Indians being considered dirty. In actuality they are among the cleanest people on the planet
>>
>>24873010
Americans read in the time they save by not having to take public transit everywhere
>>
>>24875504
Perfectly cromulent post.

The primary reason for this perception is the intersection of European arrogance and its American counterpart.
Europeans are full of themselves and Americans couldn't care less. This means a European will be mortally offended at an American who doesn't know (care) that Luxumbourg and Lichtenstein are different places or that they even exist at all, and will remember this stupid American for the rest of his life.
>>
>>24875610
It comes from Burgerstans being stupid. No stereotype arises from nothing. There is always truth there.
>>
>>24875636
Public transit is one of the best times to read
>>
>>24875678
Yeah that's the theory, but in reality only happens off hours when it's not packed. Very few people actually read on public transit.
>>
>>24873010
i know this is bullshit when we have literature majors who complain about having to read whole books to the point universities are lowering the reading requirements t
>>
>>24874098
I didn’t even know that was a thing until that video. I knew we use manure for fuel and insulation (specifically for chicken coops and such things) in rural villages, that’s all. Just nuke us
