I'm not keeping track, so, I've honestly no idea...
What I do find curious though, is that graph you posted.
The Scandinavian countries, Netherlands, France, England and Ireland read a lot of books. France is the weird one here, as the others are the Northern Eruopean countries (Netherlands often falls in the same category as the Scandinavian countries in these kind of studies). The Southern European countries read a lot less. And the German fall in that same group!
I can understand that the further north you get, the more books are read. Darker and longer winter nights, and less perfect weather during the summer (more rainy days and such). But why are the German speaking countries (and Belgium for that matter) so low? And why is France so high?
