Imagine a situation where your boss gave you a day off. To spend time he gave you one boooring book (say Ayn rand ) and a stupid movie ( say some karan johar). Which one would you chose ?
That was just a question, for answers just look at these maps.
Books published, including school textbooks. and boy !!! where is Africa ?
Movies watched, I am accountable for nearly half of this bulge
PS: Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.

Not exactly. It means books are as popular as movies in India. Look at Japan, they do both .
@AnandBalaji,
I guess I know the movie ( and the book too ) ;-).
About Paul’s lecture, that depends. Someone’s blood may boil, you go to nap and I get irritated.

Hey B,
Nice post. Interesting maps.
Is there a map for time spent in watching TV? I bet USA would be the biggest dot.
