Europe’s favorite book genres / Chart: Statista

Countless charts show which books are popular among Americans. Here is the one that takes a look at Europe.

The chart was prepared by Statista, and is based on research from Studying in Switzerland, in which Google search volume for each genre was analyzed.

💬 With the global book publishing industry hitting a revenue of $112.5 billion in 2022, this kind of oversight is valuable for knowing which books and authors may flourish in a given country.

▸ Two most popular book categories in Europe are fantasy and romance.

▸ Readers in the UK and Ireland tend to read classic books.

▸ Finland is passionate about poetry, while Norway favors crime novels.

▸ Swedish readers love either manga or classic literature.

▸ Thrillers are most read in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

by ELIZABETH GILBERT

Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack Gilbert, who was not related to me – unfortunately for me. 

Jack Gilbert was a great poet, but if you’ve never heard of him, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. He never much cared about being known. But I knew about him, and I loved him dearly from a respectful distance, so let me tell you about him.

Jack Gilbert was born in Pittsburgh in 1925 and grew up in the midst of that city’s smoke, noise, and industry. He worked in factories and steel mills as a young man, but was called from an early age to write poetry. He answered the call without hesitation. He became a poet the way other men become monks: as a devotional practice, as an act of love, and as a lifelong commitment to the search for grace and transcendence. I think this is probably a very good way to become a poet. Or to become anything, really, that calls to your heart and brings you to life.
