I think that the interpretation of the title that we got in class was certainly a good way to look at it, but I saw the "study" to be not just of one person, but of many, indicating the general public's flawed reading habits. This would account for many people reading the newspaper now rather than a novel of literary merit, because they see books as a fanciful waste of time.
I also liked Leslie's idea of the "rose-colored glasses" of the narrator, but I saw the glasses more as a sign of aging than anything else, although certainly reading had something to do with the need for them.
