reading and TV correlation?
From this NEA study:
"The survey also studied the correlation between literary reading and other activities. For instance, literature readers watched an average of 2.7 hours of television each day, while people who do not read literary works watched an average of 3.1 hours daily. Adults who did not watch TV in a typical day are 48 percent more likely to be frequent readers - consuming from 12 to 49 books each year - than are those who watched one to three hours daily."
I guess I'm the exception that proves the rule? I must watch somewhere between 2-4 hours of TV a day, but I've already read 50 books this year and passed my qualifying exam.
