    A “0 books” category would make this a lot more telling, unless “Less than 5” explicitly means 1-4

      i thought its a 100% scale and the missing part on the right represents 0?

      but this stat is also missing germany and uk for no reason so its weird to begin with, who knows really

        OP should have posted the original source, but there’s another comment with the actual Eurostat graph and it’s for the EU. It says Germany had no data available and UK is left out because it is not in the EU.

      The 0 books category is the empty space in the right side of the graph. The graph is about the percentage of people that read at least a book and then the colours say the different amount of books. Like if from 100 people 1 person read 12 books they would still count as only 1%. Their 1% would have a different colour tho. The people reading 0 books don’t count towards the percentage of people having read a book.
