About 33 percent read at least one book monthly, with fiction and poetry appeal varying by gender. Girls favor Seventeen and romance mags, while boys lean toward Playboy and science fiction. Movies dominate TV viewing, with situation comedies favored by all, and boys show stronger interest in adventure series.
