Would you rather be reading a book or listening to music?

Study shows that the number of people in the U.S reading books is decreasing, while the number of nearly all other forms of media users is increasing.

The study led by Dr. Brian Primack, an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, comes to the conclusion that by listening to a lot of music there is an 80% higher risk of having major depression than people who read books or watch TV.

“At this point, it is not clear whether depressed people begin to listen to more music to escape, or whether listening to large amounts of music can lead to depression, or both,”
