I wish I could read a book a day. If they're short then, yes, I can burn through them rather quickly. But a book a day. . . . .it would be awesome. I'd be like that guy on Limitless with the smart pill, absorbing all knowledge like a sponge. I bought that book, by the way. Alan Glynn is the author. Movie based on book usually sucks but in this case I thought the movie was almost better. At least they ended the movie better than they did the book.

And there's another thing that gets me. People often wonder if movies based on books must always suck, but I say they don't have to. Just watch the movie first before reading the book, and your expectations won't be ruined by poor Hollywood adaptation. Learned that after watching Ben Affleck in Phantoms by Dean Koontz.
