I found this recently while browsing worldmapper.org for a school project. This map shows us where the most books are published and it's surprising where the UK stands...

Why do we think this is? I mean, there are more Americans on this site than any other nationality (although, it is one of the biggest too :wink: ).

Actually, I think it isn't that surprising. I'm not sure how they're expanding the countries, either. Because they UK is really huge, but only slightly larger than the US and if you think of it, the UK and the US are right next to each other in a lot of things, so to be like that in book publishing isn't surprising.

But like I said, since there really isn't a scale..It's a little confusing.

Hahaha! Australia looks like a drowned rat!

And we need to get people in Africa writing.

It's cheaper.
there are many problems in our times
but none of them are mine



I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
