Honestly, I know how I read so many books so quickly. I read nothing that requires my brain to actually engage more than at just a cursory level. I read things like Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell, Lorna Barrett, Kathy Reichs, Alex Kava, Erin Hart, etc. Pure escapism. Plus a lot of them are short books.
I can guarantee that if I were reading anything that I had to actually think about as I was reading it would take me longer to read a book. Every now and then I'll throw in something that requires more than two brain cells. When I read In the Garden of Beasts by Eric Larson I know it took me two weeks to read that. It was a great book, but not what I want right now. Maybe next year.....
Maybe we should split the poll into books that take a brain vs. books that don't??
