Abstract

In the context of a survey about reading habits in Extremadura conducted bay our research group to 9 212 students of all educational levels during 2017, this paper analyzes the data obtained by the students from the University of Extremadura. After giving details about the method and the field of study of the survey, variables have been examined and the results have been disaggregated according to gender, study area and the Degree/Post graduate distinction. The more relevant results are that 75 % of the university students, read in their free time; they spend less than two hours a week reading; two thirds go to libraries, more to study than for loans or to consult books; reading on paper is still preferred; women read more than men; postgraduate students read more than those still studying their degree; Humanities students read more than Science students, and that within fiction, mystery and adventure genres are the most demanded.
