I love reading, but read 20 or max 25 per year. So what I do read I want to be really good. That's why I like lists like Bill Gates' (and the subsequent discussions on HN) - they help in finding the gems to read.
I also like writing reviews of what I read (mostly on Amazon [1]). Writing the review helps me remember and understand the contents better - so it benefits me. At the same time, I think it helps other people decide if they want to read the book for themselves. If not, then they got what I considered most important from my review.
