Number of books read

The most enthusiastic readers are those who read romances. A significant number of them read more than five books a month. Amongst the mystery fans, women read more than men. This is demonstrated by the fact that seven out of ten women read more than three books a month, while only 20% of men read more than two.

Source

In general people prefer borrowing books from a library to buying their own. Book clubs are also becoming more popular. This is exemplified by the fact that membership of these clubs has increased by 10% over the past ten years.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this survey indicates that men and women have different reading tastes. Women also tend to read more than men. However, neither men nor women buy many of the books they read, choosing to borrow them instead.

Model В

I carried out this survey on books by asking people on the street about the books they read. I found out a lot and here are my findings:

Firstly, I learned that men read horror stories, while women like romances. I don't like romances myself, but that's not the point here. Neither men nor women like factual books very much. Many people, including me, enjoy eating apples while they read. Women read more mysteries than men, and in general, read more books than men each month.

Furthermore, most people borrow their books from libraries rather than buy them. Many more people are members of book clubs now than ten years ago. I used to be in a book club. Are you in one?

To sum up, men and women read different kinds of books. Women read more than men. Both men and women borrow a lot of books from libraries so I think maybe bookshops should close down or reduce their prices.
