Television is one of the main reasons that Thai will not read, and it makes me mad.
Seems like they only want to watch mind deadening programs or stupid movies at that, and the best Thai programs are still in the keystone kops era of where US TV is today, maybe in another 10 years Thai TV will be up to the 3 stooges era.

I hate to contradict you but I'm afraid US television is strictly for the brain dead. You either have violence, dead bodies all over the place a.k.a CSI and it's derivitives, same old hospital programs with more dead bodies all over the place, or situation comedies written by morons. The best you can get is on public broadcasting and even then a good part of the programming is the re-broadcasting of old british comedies and dramas.

On topic, the wife reads but she says back home she never had much time to read what with working 6 days a week and then on the seventh, having to catch up on domestic chores.
