Reading books good for your health
By Nicholas Bakalar, New York Times
Reading books is tied to a longer life, according to a report.
Researchers used data on 3,635 people over 50 participating in a larger health study who had answered questions about reading.
The scientists divided the sample into three groups: those who read no books, those who read books up to three and a half hours a week, and those who read books more than three and a half hours.
