I've long suspected you were a Philistine. And would you also chop up your monthly NYRBs and Vanity Fairs for similar reasons.
I actually think the idea has merit, after all a traditional ToC has page numbers. Those who are old enough to have working mental arithmetic faculty can judge by the length (pages or words), author, and subject if a story warrants just a 10 minute skim on the train, or deserves a 45 minute contemplation in the garden.
