Estonians read an average of 13 minutes a day and Fines and Poles read 2 minutes less than Norwegians, while the Hungarians spend about 10 minutes reading, a survey conducted between 2008 and 2015 involving people between the ages of 20 and 74 from 15 EU members, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey.

Eurostat data show that households in the EU spent more than 90 billion euros or 1.1 percent of total spending on books, newspapers and written material in 2016, or 0.6 percent of EU gross domestic product.

Looking at the data per capita, it is about a sum of 200 euros for books and papers.

At the same time, households in the EU for books, newspapers and written material allocate less than half of their spending on recreation and cultural content.

Spending for books, newspapers and written material has been declining since 1995 when 1.8 percent of total household spending in the EU has been set aside.

The Slovaks spend the most on books, 2.1 percent of the total consumption of households, and Bulgarians and Greeks the least, 0.6 percent.

There are most "bookworms" in Finland, where 16.8% of respondents say that reading books is one of the activities they devote time to.

Followed by Poland with 16.4 percent and Estonia with 15 percent of "readers". On the other hand, in France, only 2.6 percent of respondents devote time to reading.

In Serbia, eight percent of respondents said that they are "bookworms", in Turkey 10 percent and in Norway 18 percent, Eurostat reported.

"The readers" read books between one hour in France and hour and a half a day in Hungary on average.

In all countries, statistics show that women read more than men, but men who read do it longer than women.
