What is it about?
The aims of this study are to determine the influence and analyze the importance of reading habits as a leisure activity and quantify the time dedicated to it, compared with other media, such as television and radio. A questionnaire was used, adapted to the characteristics of the population studied, and the data was processed with SPSS. To sum up, the profile of the most usual reader in the Universidad Europea de Madrid, is a woman, attending a degree in Communication and Humanities as a freshmen or sophomore. She reads novels and tales (in paper format and in Spanish) once or twice a week and much more during the holidays. She usually watches TV and uses the Internet mainly to read the mail. She does not read the press every day and goes to the library mainly to study.

Perspectives
Este artículo se llevó a cabo en la etapa predoctoral de la autora y es producto de su tesina elaborada para la obtención del Diploma de Estudios Avanzados. This paper was done before the PhD thesis, and the results were collected in paper format. This process gave ua the chance of having a large number of valid results, probably not obtained in digital format. The indexing and classification of them meant hard work for the author.
