It’s what you’re reading that matters, and how you’re reading it, not the speed with which you’re getting through it. Reading is supposed to be about the encounter with other minds, not an opportunity to return to the endlessly appealing subject of Me.
I wish i had read this a long time ago. I suspected this already. but to hear this exposed in such a powerful way will cause me to never mistake this problem again. It's making me think that i have no business seeking to read 50 books per year. It also doesn't matter that anyone else knows what i've read.
