Whether you are reading books for fun or to learn, it says a lot about a person. Just knowing that someone reads makes them appear smarter and more attractive. Which made us ask the question which country reads the most books?

According to a date from a chart published in 2016 by the UK newspaper, Independent, we will be able to answer that question. The data uses the number of hours a person spend reading for each country per week. The country that reads the most books is India! They led every country on the map with an average of 10 hours and 42 minutes. That is a good average amount for a country as a whole. That is enough to finish a book and start a new one in the same week!

Which countries read the most chart

Coming in second was Thailand with 9 hours and 24 minutes and third was China with 8 hours per week. Averaging more than an hour per day is great and that should be the goal for all countries. This begs us the question Where did the United States rank?

Where does the U.S. Rank?

The U.S. ranked 42nd with 5 hours and 42 minutes of reading per week. That sounds accurate considering how often “I have people say I haven’t read a book since high school!” Disclosing that information that confidently should be a crime. This information is a little outdated and does not account for reading averages once the pandemic started. It is easy to guess that reading averages went up for most countries. I wouldn’t be surprised if the charts remained the same for the most part considering we all went through the pandemic. With things returning to normal somewhat, the reading trends should go back to as it was. It is always good to try to read an hour a day. That would easily crack the top 10 and help read more books as a result.

All of us, at some point in our lives, have wanted to be a record breaker. Ever since Roy Castle picked up his trumpet and played that theme tune, it's been drilled into us that dedication is all you need to succeed at anything. ShortList is here to help you find your inner record breaker. We've dug deep into the Guinness Book of Records archives and picked out 10 brilliant records you can try and break while in self isolation. These records can all be done in the home or garden, and will hopefully spark a little bit of inspiration for you or your younglings. Now, unfortunately we can't be there, like Norris McWhirter, with a stopwatch and whistle but that doesn't mean that we want any cheating - we've all got Zoom in our homes now, so there will always be someone watching.

Enjoy, and good luck!

For more record-breaking ideas, head to the Official Guinness Book of Records site where it has a page dedicated to World Records you can do at home
