Do you have a job?
Or to put my question differently: What does it mean for you to read a book? How fast do you read? How much attention do you pay to single words an author uses? What kind of books do you read? You mention SciFi novels and non-fiction books.
I personally really cannot understand what's so good about carrying a whole library with you. When I have a good book in my hands it keeps me occupied for several days/weeks/months. Bad books are a waste of time anyway.

- rufius 17y agoI enjoy reading a good book but a large book (think Moby Dick) won't take me much more than a couple weeks at most reading regularly every day. I have no idea how to read a book for that long... that seems to indicate to me that perhaps you just read slower?
