"The A.C. Nielsen Co. reports the average American watched 4 hours and 30 minutes a day of television in 2006. The National Endowment for the Arts reports that the same average American spends 26 minutes a day reading."

I want a president who will advocate for a National Read a Book week.

Hey, I'd be happy if people read even 10 pages a day. I've read about 10 novels this year, maybe 12, and it is not nearly enough.

I wonder how many of the respondents use the TV as a radio or as background noise while doing other things. Giving the tube one's full attention for 4+ hours every day sounds numbing.
