Libya too, we are so low on readers... I consider myself a book reader but I do so in impulses (like how I read 2 books in January but no book in feburary.) My brother reads a lot less than me.
But you know? I think social media these days played a lot of parts that were exclusive to reading books few years ago. And many people read a lot in social media platforms.
I agree, many things are motivated to learn. but very less interested to read it. especially in our country.
