10-second review: How much time do people today devote to reading? People 65 and over read about an hour a day. Ages 15-24, 8 minutes a day. Overall average, 19 minutes a day for men and 24 minutes a day for women. Spend 2.5 hours a day watching TV.

Comment: The 15-24 age group amazes me—no reading in school or for school? Or, is this based on reading when not required? RayS.
