Typical mind fallacy is thinking that the way your mind operates is automatically how everyone's mind operate.

  Well, I'm no freak of nature, either.

    Wouldn't say it's about being 'normal' or a 'freak.' If you haven't cultivated the habit of reading, it's not effortless (like most things). When things aren't effortless (or close thereto), its easy for an undisciplined mind to wander. If it's something that you value, you will do it enough that it becomes effortless. Perhaps the author missed that point?

      Though your point about cultivating the discipline is applicable, not all brains process data the same way, and its possible the posters habit is a factor of biology not effort.
