According to statistics India has 10.24 hours per week of reading time and it is the only coutry to go above 10 hours. India is followed by Thiland with just above 9.5 hours and finally by China with 8 hours. It is interesting that the developed countries such as the United States or United Kingdom are far behind with the average circling around 5 hours. The tendency is that the more literate the country is, the less average reading time will have. That is a paradox, but it can be explained with the rapid technological developement and buisier lifestyle.
