in 2015 the annual number of library visits in Finland was 50 million for a total population of 5.4 million.
>>52932633
cool i guess.
>>52932633
Guess you can't do much more in Finland when the economy is going down the shitter.
Pretty cool though.
>>52932677
We've always been the biggest readers in the world.
>>52932633

>>52932699
We have the biggest readers per capita when it comes to reading the the quran.
>>52932633
Have you ever heard of eBooks?
>>52932803
They're cancer to read though,
>>52932803
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
>>52932803
The german would be the one to over-complicate reading a fucking book. kys sincerely the rest of the world your faggot country already practically fucked up the entire planet
How can I be more Finnish?
>>52932803
We also buy more books per capita than anywhere else. Libraries are well designed social spaces here. It's not like some depressing space like in other countries. You can loan the latest music, ebooks, video games etc
unless you are reading technical literature, you are basically just shitposting your time the same way you would if you did anything else
dont see why people think reading books is some sort of enlightened or higher or intellectual or whatever, those books are just as retarded as watching tv or whatever else
>>52933057
most obvious bait of 2016
i thought your guys written language was basically just like a heart beat monitor

>>52932633
5,4 million?

>>52932633
That 50 million were refugees who didnt like finland and returned to warzone.
>>52932633
Were they all reading the koran?
>>52932816
Not at all, reading on kindle is great.
>>52934447
Yet we still rek you in academic performance.
>>52934447
>>52934609
That's such a weird way to phrase the first sentence.
>>52934609
nobody was talking about academic performances m8

>MORE HIJABIS
holy fuck, enjoy your enrichment
>in his country libraries are still functional and quiet
come on, it is 2016
they only serve to host human trash here
>lots of immigrants and other riff-raff ushered there by social services who need to occupy them with something
>school kids who are forcibly there to loan books because they must know how libraries work
>degenerate SJWs who are there to work on their "art exhibits" which occupy more space than the books do
>>52934632
>sweden in the top 10

>>52935031

>>52932749

I thought only online camwhores went to libraries for MFC sessions
>>52935083
>free internet
Oh right, I forgot they have this now
That accounts for the rest of the people
>>52934657
It's such a weird thing to mention at all. As if it's somehow special to behave like a civilized human and not an animal that wears shoes indoors.
>>52934657
>>52934913
Mad and lost
>>52933119
He is right. Why read about moby dick when you can read about quantum fluctuation?

Runes were copied from roman script and now you write with latins.
You were in no position to give anything since they werent yours to begin with.
>>52934447
We have 1% non-european immigrants.
How about you?

>efficient education
Okay, now I know your pic is full of shit. Our teachers are grossly underpaid, the education is trash tier beyond elementary and middle school - okay you know what, even before then. Our colleges and universities are stuck in the stone age and give you literally zero useful material for a competitive job, and our language education is literally THE ABSOLUTE WORST.
If you want to study another language, better do it on your own or hire a personal teacher, because in public school, you're sure as hell you won't learn anything. They taught me german for 10 years for Pete's sake. I still don't know how to ask somebody what's the fucking time.
efficient my ass
>implying education matters
Here you learn how to do integrals and derivatives in highschool. That's high math at specialized universities out in the west.
>>52942753
Of course we are, Finnish is always following Sweden and many here are worried about Finland not being as multicultural as Sweden.
>>52943049
Not anymore, we got 30 000 more this year.
>>52944733
*last
This year is going to be even more catastrophic because the government doesn't want to reduce the amount of asylum seekers coming here so I think we can be expecting something like 50 000 this year.
Haters gonna hate

>>52933057
Reading books from an early age and high intelligence/performance in school correlate.
