"Book-reading is strongly associated with college education." I thought it was more associated with mental curiosity, a desire to better one's self, and the desire to keep learning. Those qualities might overlap with a college degree but not necessarily.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks both because of the ability to multitask and because dyslexia/aging eyes makes it harder to visually read.
