All: I can only imagine that this is one of those weird statistical quirks - it's not that *readers* read only minutes a day on average, I think it MUST take into account the significant percentage of people who never pick up a book. For example, supposedly the average person in England & Wales reads THREE books a year. Now, even before I retired, I was reading 60-70 books a year for decades and now average around 100 a year. Factor that in and LOTS of people simply don't read. 6 minutes a day is 36 hours a year - which is about 12 hours of reading per book, probably one over Christmas (gift) and two more on your summer holiday. That's actually frighteningly realistic..... [lol]
In context, even with a full-time job I was reading at least an hour per day (weekdays) and at least 3-4 hours each day of the weekend..... But SIX minutes? I'm not even getting started!
Estonia is nice this time of year
ReplyDeleteI can see France and Italy busy with other more passionate activities; but United Kingdom?

ReplyDeleteNo way. I mean, of course France, but seriously? That's it per day? No way.
