He clearly doesn't finish "five or ten books a day". It also sounds like he doesn't read a single book until it's done. He hops from book to book, even if they're good books. I've heard a lot of people do that. On an episode of Would I Lie To You, Victoria Coren Mitchell said she's in various states of completion on 7-8 books at a time.

- Forgeties79 4y agoI’ll juggle a few pieces of any media at any given time but my goodness, 7-8 books at a time? I’ve got ADHD and that still gives me anxiety.
- skydhash 4y agoNot that hard if you have good memory. Mine works my association. I can forgot all about a book, but as soon as I saw the cover I can give you the rough plot. If I saw the table of content, I can give you a summary of each chapter. I don’t hope between books as I don’t force myself to finish what I don’t like. But I can only reread books after a good deal of time (3 years mostly). Earlier than that, I just find myself skipping ahead as I remember stuff before I read them.
