I think issybird's response nailed it, and I'm a good example. I work from home, and only part-time. 60-70% of my work is night shift work in a call centre type job that is not very busy, so I have a lot of time in which reading helps me stay awake. I also dislike noise (no audiobooks for me) and in consequence have been reducing the amount of TV I watch. So reading light fiction - mysteries and Regency romances mostly, has become my main leisure activity.

That, coupled with my slightly obsessive fixation with all the delightful stats on reading available at the StoryGraph have me about to reach 100K pages and 300 books for the year so far. It says nothing at all about my intellect, reading ability or character. All it says is that I have a lot free time and enjoy passing it in silence.
