They get this questionable ideas from the internet. I read # books in a month, great achievement indeed! Do they have any fun in that. Of course. 30 pages is an assay, it's not a month of read. I have seen the idea of reading as something strange. Either elevated to the level of a high level activity that smart people do, or something that must be done to give yourself the tone of a robust and decent reader.

Not.

It's a casual activity that anyobdy can do at their pace. I love reading, when I'm in the midst of a reading slump i jump to some other hobby of mine, and i come back even stronger. In the end reading is a skill. Read things that catch your eye but learn to stay for the long run.
