From today's Inside Higher Ed:

"Many children and young adults are abandoning reading, according to a 
report issued today <http://www.nea.gov/news/news07/TRNR.html> by the 
National Endowment for the Arts. Among the findings: Less than one third 
of 13-year-olds are daily readers, a 14 percent decline from 20 years 
ago. On average, Americans between the ages of 15 and 24 spend seven 
minutes a day on leisure reading, compared to two hours a day watching 
television."
