It's not hard to read one hundred pages each day of newspaper articles and magazine articles and other similar publications. If The Economist were a daily publication, I'd gladly read it every single day from cover to cover. However I see that the author has excluded periodicals in this statistic, presumably because it's not "heavy" reading? I recently re-read a few books from the Harry Potter series and I could very easily read one hundred pages a day. I just finished reading Deaton's Economics in America and it's comparatively light and I read on average 50 pages per day. But I recently began to read Pigou's The Economics of Welfare (which I discovered only because Deaton quoted it) and there's no way I could read more than 20 pages a day.
