i whant to ask how much people read.in my country people not raeding.they stay and watch only reality shows.50%of people don't know who is Joyse or Dickens or other.How you "fight" against this problem?

How's the education system in your area (Bulgaria, assuming your location tag is correct)? I really don't want to go all authoritative and demand that everybody go back to school. However, if it is extreme to the point where reality shows are the only thing they think about, then we have a problem on our hands. I would start them with magazines. Even though it's appalling IMO, it's reading, and it will pretty much be like reality tv on paper. Then we move on from there.

Utilising the oral tradition (storytelling, plays etc) are a really good way to get recalcitrant readers into enjoying literature.

In my experience it really helps to break down the barrier that people feel stands between themselves and "canon."

Making the most of it would be community theatre!
