Once in a blue moon, there will always be an article in the newspaper asking this question.
Most of the time, it'll be attached with a survey form from volunteers that we don't know whether true or not.
On my self-judgment, I have seen many Japanese even in trains, just to past the time.
The young to teens will have their mangas.
The business, working class will be reading newspapers.
The females and old people will be reading novels.
Looking back at Malaysians, very *rare* do I see a whole bunch of them reading just to past the time.
Whether at a coffee shop, restaurants, trains, at the park, friend's house, etc.
Here goes my question: WHY?
It is not easy to read a book without commanding the language used, unless you are very passionate about the subject or you do not have other options to past time. Train network in Japan is also very comprehensive, safe and punctual. You can expect some good reading time while traveling, and not much else. Access to books is certainly a key factor, but my experience is that Malaysians read books in to comfort of their homes, only to leave the house for other businesses. The weather is either too hot or too humid, or too dark and the insect bites. If Malaysians invent the book, it is digital.Most of the time, it'll be attached with a survey form from volunteers that we don't know whether true or not.
