Some estimations based on the above mentioned reports say that an Arab reader on average reads 6 minutes per year and that Arab countries' output of books represents just 1.1% of the world total while the Arab population represents around 5% of the world population. The state of Arab readership appears to be so poor to the extent that The Guardian's journalist Brian Whitaker reports (September 13, 2004) of an exhibit of a mock gravestone in Beirut Book Fair adorned with shriveled flowers and labeled "The Arab Reader".
an average of more than 90% of reader respondents in all the countries surveyed claim that their main reading is the Qur'an and religious books,
which are written in a very classical Arabic that is very difficult to
understand even for highly educated persons. So, what kind of
?reading are we talking about here
Khalid Al Faisal, the president of the Arab Thought Foundation, said just above 8% of people in Arab countries aspired to get an education, against 91% in South Korea and 72% in Australia
