Hi, heard my name, right here, what? Book culture? No, not a single book here in Germany and we even don't know how to spell the word Bok Storrre.
Seriously: Of course, there are book stores, but you're right, probably not as many as in other countries. Z's also right, the Germans are outdoor "activists", especially in the south.
I read about a book every ten days and was honestly thinking that was a lot (compared to all people I know in real life). Apparently it's not. To be honest, I'm sort of relieved that there are a lot of bookworms who read far more books than me. I suddenly feel so "normal"
Edit: Wait - do books for children count? I read about one book a day to the kids. And do I get a bonus for being forced to read the very same book over and over again and be yelled at when I try to leave out some parts?
