A “0 books” category would make this a lot more telling, unless “Less than 5” explicitly means 1-4
- Sas [she/her] ( @Sas@beehaw.org ) English10•27 days ago
The 0 books category is the empty space in the right side of the graph. The graph is about the percentage of people that read at least a book and then the colours say the different amount of books. Like if from 100 people 1 person read 12 books they would still count as only 1%. Their 1% would have a different colour tho. The people reading 0 books don’t count towards the percentage of people having read a book.
- trampel ( @trampel@feddit.org ) English7•27 days ago
the color coding for the amount of books is the wrong way around. The classification with the lowest percentage should also come first on the x-axis. Right now you have to mentally subtract to get the percentages for people that read 10 books.

62% in France only. I don’t believe it. They must have only counted novel, excluding comics or something.

I guess, I have to stop trusting my anecdotal experience and relie more on data :)

Even if it does, do they actually read it?

Reading habits in Europe isn’t the same thing as Reading habits in parts of Europe, last time I checked Great Britain was part of Europe, though no longer part of the “European Union”, this graph is titled incorrectly, which is the first thing one considers when then considering any data below it. This is 100% a complete fail.

This gets brought up every time with Eurostat. The UK no longer shares data with Eurostat, but other non-EU countries like Switzerland and Norway do. (also Germany is missing here, for some reason)
- Blaze (he/him) ( @Blaze@sopuli.xyz ) English6•27 days ago
Yes, having Norway and Switzerland included there shows that it’s more about the UK not willing to share than the EU refusing to include them in Eurostat
- sylphio ( @sylphio@lemmy.ml ) English1•25 days ago
Iceland is missing. I would expect it to score high on that chart.

IMHO books are the point of view of the writer and is just that, a book. So I prefer get the information from actual people by talking and from all kind of sources.
