Can you please read it and see if it is OK. I'm not so good at statistics and its terminology so please if you have any suggestions or corrections, let me know.

Personal interview at home/home interview on the sample of the adult population older than 15 included 1000 persons and offered some interesting figures: even 45 % of population in Croatia in the 2002 did not have any contact with book, the average number of the read books is 5. Almost 40 % of the surveyed persons borrowed the book they read, and among genres fiction is leading (67%), women read slightly more than men (58%), and people who live in cities and communities that number more than 100 000 people, read the most on average.



Thank you

As I was hitting 'post' on my previous reply I realized I had made a mistake : at the end of the text it should read 'more than 100 000' instead of 'more than a 100 000'.
