According to the statistic, Thai people read books only 5 lines per a year in average. That’s a shocked statistic. It doesn’t mean Thai people can’t read because nowadays, there is only 4% of Thai people can not read but 96% left are be able to read but they just don’t want to read. So we can say there are about 2,400,000 Thais who can not read while there are about 57,600,000 Thais can read.
Anyhow, it’s a shocked statistic. But there are some people who love to read books including me. Even the number of book readers are not as much as the number of Coffee-drinkers, Song-listeners, Alcoholics or even Smokers. But most of Thais coffee drinkers also like to read books while they are drinking too, so we can say Coffee drinkers are the book readers as well.
As Mark Twain, the American author said “One who doesn’t like to read books doesn’t have any more benefit than one who is unable to read at all. I totally agree with what he said.
Reading should be the habit for everyone because it broaden your vision and make you more clever, also if you don’t want to have alzheimer’s when you’re getting older, you should start reading books since today.
