Or it can discourage them from taking their time with a book. Rushing through it instead of savoring the rich imaginary, perhaps looking up subjects or places on Wikipedia, discussing the read materials with parents, daydreaming about the adventure.

But it's symptomatic of the results-oriented society: Everything is a contest and a competition, even recreation.
