I read fast. 10k words on my lunch break is about standard; combine that with the twenty minutes on the train each way to & from work and I'm at about 20k words a day when I don't take any special time out for reading.

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...

I'm happy with what--and how much--I read. I have no interest in learning to read slower to fit someone else's notions of how much "quality" reading I should be able to afford. (I am intrigued by the notion that if I read fast, it must be mostly simple fare and I'd be better reading more complicated works. Especially as a comment from someone who has, at best, very limited data about my reading habits.)
Whether I am "missing the point of reading" is, fortunately, not subject to external vote.
