Men are from Mars, women are reading?

“According to a British poll conducted for World Book Day, teenaged girls spend more than twice as much of their time reading for pleasure as boys do—4.5 hours a week compared with 2.3 hours for boys. Instead of reading, boys spend an average of 11 hours a week watching television and nine hours playing video games. The discrepancy in reading habits can be seen academically, with girls scoring higher in both primary and secondary schools.” (from Book Magazine)
