I love that quote, but in my experience there are diminishing returns. I peaked (according to Goodreads) in 2012 when I read 75 books (including many large tomes! Godel Escher Bach, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Catch-22, Hyperion, Brothers Karamazov, Thinking Fast and Slow). But after all that, I felt like a hollow/vain effort. I felt like I spent TOO much time in books, time not investing in relationships or skills. Now I read ~25 a year, and that seems like a sweet spot (though I still feel like I spend too much time on reddit/HN heh). Anyways the OP article resonated with me. I've been taking the bus for the first time in my life this year and am wanting to start writing while on it.
