here in my country, Hungary. generally very few people read for fun. they make statistics and surveys and all kinds of things that show it. there are several reasons for it. many people go to school for only like 8 years because that's the minimum but there's nothing done really that would encourage students to pick up a book because the obligatory readings are the same in every school and those books are all very depressing; weren't written for kids at all and there's literally nothing a kid could take away from them. it basically plants the thought in every child that reading isn't fun
