How many of us are considered readers?

50-75% of adults average around one book a year, but only around 28% are considered frequent readers of roughly 1-2 books a month, though these rates are at a slow decline with younger generations.

    Fascinating facts, I aspire to become a frequent reader and less of a frequent scroller on Tiktok.

    If you were to pull a random novel off a shelf in 2026, the average number of words that novel would contain would be 80,000 to 90,000 words.

    I try to read more these days, but I am one of the average people I guess 🙂

    Interesting… didn’t realise the gap between casual and frequent readers was that big.

    I am very lazy in readling because I usually go to sleep immediately as soon as I start readling a book.
