Although nowadays the majority of people prefer to learn about the news

from the Internet or TV, reading is still an important leisure activity in Britain

and there is a very large number of books, newspapers and magazines devoted

to a wide variety of subjects. The biggest-selling magazines in Britain (after TV

guides which sell over 3 million copies a week) are women’s and pop music

publications.

The best-selling books are not great works of literature but stories of

mystery and romance which are sold in huge quantities (Agatha Christie’s

novels, for example, have sold more than 300 million copies). It has been

estimated that only about 3 per cent of the population read «classics» such as

Charles Dickens or Jane Austin, whereas popular book sales can be enormous,

particularly if the books are connected with TV shows or dramatisations

1. People in Britain don’t read nowadays because they prefer watching TV.
