Do you think there's a growing pressure now to finish a book, then the next one, and the next one?
Has the emphasis moved from quality reading to quantity reading?
Has the focus moved from considering the meaning of what you've just read to zipping on to another opening chapter?
Book reviews, reading challenges, data on reading habits, competitions for the number of books read per annum - all can push you to read more. That's good. But do you find yourself galloping to finish a book just so you can get along to the next one; picking short books over long ones; choosing easy reads over complicated ones?
Has the race for The End come to dominate your reading habits? What do you think?
