MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Do you wish you had more time to pick up a book? You're far from alone, as the results of a new survey show.

According to the survey, about half of the 2,000 or so they talked with said they spend at least 15 minutes reading a day. Only a bit over 20% read for an hour a day.

The survey showed 81% felt like they don't read as much as the would like to.
