From Friday's Shelf Awareness:
The president of the Iran National Library and Archives (INLA) said that Iranians spend two minutes per day reading books, according to the Tehran Times.
I realize that this is, of course, an average that covers a large population, but it's still funny to think about. Like, do they break the two minutes up over the course of the day? 30 seconds here, 15 second there. Two minutes isn't long enough for a decent pee, so reading on the john is pretty much out. You think they could have simply said that Iranians read for an average of 15 minutes a week, or an hour a month. That makes more sense, and it's the same figures...
