Me too, exactly the same
.
But I do concede that some like to have produced for them or keep themselves records of all sorts of their reading statistics such as recording in detail the length of their reading sessions, percentages, etc. and all power to them if that is what they want to do. But I am afraid (am actually pleased) that I am more interested in the reading than the evisceration and spreading of the guts of my reading habits for self analysis; I suspect that most readers are the same.
