Introduction

New research shows that adults who put aside half an hour each week for books are 20% more likely to report greater life satisfaction. We begin today with a hot debut, the five sorrowful mysteries of Andy Africa, from 29-year-old Nigerian born Stephen Burrow. Later on, we'll be talking about a new initiative that seeks to help people put aside more time for reading in an era when we're busier and more distracted than ever before.
