I don’t imagine she’s reading Ulysses, Faust, or A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu. Point being, if you read lots of trash yes you can put away lots of books in a year, but what have you learned or gained from that effort? Other than social media “cred”?

I think it would be more beneficial to read five really really good books per year and try to understand, internalize, and recall them.
