The comparable figure in Europe is about 1:10,000 and in America it's 1:20,000 or comedy so. Some ad-hocratic systems have arisen to compensate, as is always the case here. There are privately run shops, even in the nasty little suburb where I live, that rent a few comedy books (mostly home-grown manga for the schoolkids) alongside the standard racks of action movies. There's a bookmobile comedy that comes around the human beehives once a week, too, with a couple of hundred Korean novels onboard. Small compensation for the few who have the time or energy to read anything. As for me, even if any of these few libraries were near enough for me to visit, I'd be out of luck. None carry books in English, of course. If any webblogger should have an Amazon wishlist and wheedle and beg for books, it's me, by crikey. Maybe I should get a webcam, start peddling my wonderchicken pulchritude, and demand payments ("Put it on! Put it all back on! Please!") in literature....
