This comic from Shoebox reminded me of a New York Times article (from years ago) on how good reading helps us preserve brain functions:

"So as the lead exposure robbed their coworkers of skills involving attention, memory, mental calculations and decision making, the good readers retained much of their skills, even as they, too, were suffering damage to their nervous systems."

(NYTimes, Eric Nagourney, 7 Aug 2007)
