"But it doesn't work like that with books. You don't want to read James Joyce on the train, Maeve Binchy while you're walking and John Grisham at your desk."

For a book-selling hot shot, he knows surprisingly little about the range of reading habits out there!

Anyone else out there a 'grazer'?

Another take on it - coming back to Steve Jobs and the death of reading (again) - wasn't part of Jobs point that reading is becoming more fragmented? I don't agree about the death of reading, but I do agree that the what and how of people's reading habits is undergoing a change.
