UK Reading Habits Revealed: A Third Read Zero Books a Year
2025-03-07
A YouGov survey unveils the reading habits of Britons. The results show a generally low reading rate among British adults, with nearly 40% reading zero books in the past year. Women and older adults read more than men and younger people; middle-class individuals also read more frequently than working-class individuals. Most Brits read before bed or in their free time, preferring fiction, with physical books remaining the most common format, though e-books and audiobooks are gaining popularity. While many own extensive collections, few organize their books systematically.
