Extensively. I never experienced burnouts when so much is referred to hours, or pages.

Intensively. I experience the need for a reset if so much is referred to a very intense book. Last occurrence the Western trilogy of Cormac McCarthy. After each I had to wait that the metabolites would be flushed out from my system. I stayed away from reading for a while and then picked up few light things, before finding the appetite for more of the same intoxicating story telling.

Shipping news had a similar effect, and it does every time that I read it again.
