The Power of Reading

Filed under: Noah's Posts

This week I heard what I thought was the best book statistic ever. I know that Harry Potter is a huge phenomenon. In fact, I joked around with people saying that this past weekend JK Rowling and I averaged 4 million book sales each. Still, this took me by surprise. There was a study released in a British journal of medicine that said that on weekends following the release of a Harry Potter book children’s admittances to emergency rooms in England fell by 50%.

Wow. Very cool.
