In Italy we read little and men read less than women . They are facts. In the statistics, readers are considered to be those who have read at least one book in the last year: but for me these are not real readers, but only occasional readers. “In the last year”, then, can mean that they have not read anything in the previous 5 years. I would raise that number to review (or create) reader categories. It certainly cannot be established a priori how many books to read per year , because reading depends on many factors. The time to read depends on the reader And by the life he leads. A student has time after lunch, before dinner and in the evening, and on Sunday. A worker only in the evenings and weekends.
A pensioner all day. But in these cases other factors also come into play in one's personal life which can reduce the free time available. What's the point of having so many books if you can't read them all? A friend pointed this out to me years ago, when I told her I had about 2000 books: would I be able to read them all before I passed away? How many Special Data books would I have to read per year to be able to finish them before the end of my time? Macabre questions, in a certain sense, but still sensible. That question pushed me to read more, also because I realized that the books purchased in a year were many more than I could read. At that rate I would have left this valley of tears with a considerable load of books still to read (and I doubt that we can read them in the afterlife). Since then I have changed my reading habits.
How many books do you read per year and why? Each of us has our own answer to the question “How many books do we read a year?” and that answer can very well be followed by the question “Why read all those books a year?”. I don't have an answer to this question - just as I don't have one to the first one - even if it comes naturally to me to answer "for pleasure and culture", but this is just my opinion. Today the media culture is given by the knowledge of the private lives of complete strangers who appear on so-called reality shows or nonsense that is published on various social networks. Perhaps this would be enough to give an answer to that question or, at least, it wouldn't even raise the question "Why read all those books a year?". Spectator vs. reader The huge difference between reading a book and watching a zany television program is in the creative power that a book gives us.
