North East readers prefer romance
The Telegraph | New Delhi, Nov. 19:
Youths from the Northeast prefer romantic fiction to fantasy as leisure-time reading in sharp contrast to their counterparts in other states, says a National Book Trust (NBT) report to be released tomorrow.
The report Youth of Northeast India: Demographics and Readership analyses the data of a three-year survey conducted by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER).
The NCAER’s National Youth Readership Survey had interviewed 38,575 literate youths (13-35 years of age) in 199 towns and 432 villages in 207 districts covering all the states and Union Territories of the country. It found that 25 per cent of youths read books other than textbooks. Most of them prefer fiction such as adventure, comics, romance, thriller, science fiction, graphic novels, humour and mythology.
