Having lived in Colombia and Brazil for a number of years, except for the very rich, after visiting hundreds of peoples homes, I have never seen more than the bible in anyones house. Perhaps if I visit a guy in his mid 20s/early 30s he may have some kind of marvel graphic novel/manga. I think lower middleclass/middle class people in europe and USA have at least a small library or collection of novels or cookbooks or coffeetable books. I also noticed people in Mexico had more as well.. I feel like South America(at least CO + BR) has almost no culture of enjoying books since television/Cellphones came around..
