I would be interesting if the study went beyond the single novel. What would be the research results with different novels? I cannot imagine reading a J. D. Robb novel has the same effects as a Jane Austen novel. Of course, perhaps the content is less important than the process. In any case, now knowing that reading is actually good for the mind, I will not give up on reading. Well, I wasn't about to stop anyway. Now you have given me another reason to justify my solitary praxis. BTW . . . Happy New Year from the Redneck Rivera . . .
