Out of curiosity, I did the calculations on this. Let's suppose you have been reading for 30 years (I don't know how old you are, sorry). A billion pages would be over 33 million pages a year, averaging to about 91 thousand pages a day. This would mean 228 400-pg novels
a day.
On the other hand, a million pages isn't far-fetched at all, depending how old you are. I have been literate for about 20 years, so I would have needed to average about 140 pages a day to reach a million at this point. I was certainly not reading nearly that much when I was young, so I suspect I have another 5-10 years ahead of me.
