"Compared with those who did not read books, those who read for up to three and a half hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die over 12 years of follow-up, and those who read more than that were 23 percent less likely to die. Book readers lived an average of almost two years longer than those who did not read at all."
What books are you going to read in your extra two years?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think anyone who lives longer tends to be female, OG. Presumably failing eyesight is more common as you age but doesn't necessarily mark you out from your cohort. It's what stops me reading more books, all the same.
Then again I definitely put in the long hours on AB, since I can increase the type size, and I'd like to think that would add an extra weekend at least to my lifespan.
