The article couldn't be more clear, if you don't read books in the way the author thinks you ought to, you're not reading at all. He thinks that his preferred context is an essential part of reading in the same way that boxing is just fighting without the context of a boxing match.
His preferred context, your preferred context, my preferred context are not inherent parts of reading. It would still be reading in some other contexts.
