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...
Two problems with this.

First, higher priced book are not necessarily higher quality. Many public domain books are more complex and considered to be a higher quality than many NY Times best sellers, regardless of price.

Second, there is no such thing as a correct reason or method to read. Every person has their own reasons and taste. If I deal with complex problems at work, what's wrong with me wanting my reading and TV watching to be on the lighter side?
