I cannot understand what makes people read 20k words of fiction every day, maybe they should consider reading more complex instead of just more books... I think this is as bad as watching tv and misses the point of reading entirely...

Actually at 300 words a page 20K words is 66 pages and 50k is 166 pages so I don't think that is keeping anyone from smelling the roses or getting to work on time. Maybe an hour or two doing something enjoyable? Many newspapers contain a lot more than 20K words of nonadvertising content and it is generally considered acceptable to read the newspaper.
And doing what one enjoys is often relaxing and adds to the quality of time spent with family and may help the mind function better at work. It is not all about self improvement.
