Comparisons are invidious, invalid and pointless as each person's parameters are so different from others. A book is not a book anyway, for purposes of comparison, that is, and it's not a contest. Really the
only point to be made is if someone would like to read more and can't figure out how to achieve that.
I mentioned not watching television, but that's painless for me. I don't eat ice cream (well, not often) because it's bad for me, but giving up television is like not eating lima beans. For someone who likes television also, it's harder. Or whatever it is that also uses up whatever free time someone has. And some are always going to have more discretionary time than others.
FWIW, I read somewhere that reading speeds don't differ as much as people think and I suspect there's a lot of truth in that.
