Statistics show that from the 185, 000 literary titles that get published on average in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia every year, only 3% (according to other sources 2.3%) are translated from other languages (the statistics also tell us that 30% of these translation come from the French literature)..

Can you think of why the AngloSaxons do not read that much foreign literature?
