I think its appreciably close to nothing (including both the number of books many people will be made to read while at compulsory schooling and education, and I also think its close the kind of number of books a non-reader would respond to such a survey when making up an number given that they really don't read in any practical amount).

I think the real number is close to 0-1 books read a year for most people. 5-6 books read a year would be much more then the average person in my estimation.
