Anybody has data from USA?

I believe you misread the data. I found the source study here:

http://www.publishing-watch.org/docu...ust%202004.pdf

On page 75 it has more detailed information on the chart you linked to where it states those numbers on the left of the chart are a percentage of those EU members that read 8 books or more per year for reasons other than study or work. A far cry from 37.
