Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in

literature as in an unending party”. It turns out that reading doesn't only help

us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.

A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal

Social Science & Medicine, concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent

reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow­up compared to

non­readers”．

The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on

Aging. The study looked at 3,635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers

divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5

hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.

The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two

years longer than those who didn't crack open a book. The more the subjects read,

the longer they lived, but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in

terms of survival.

Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the

study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely

to die during that 12­year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of

a half hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.

“In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote

a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.

Why or how that's_the_case remains unclear; the research showed only an
