At 40 non-fiction books per year I'd throw in the towel too.

Fiction on the other hand… I think I average 40 a year without it being an effort at all. Just read a bit in bed before sleeping and on holidays. That's not an abnormal number for anyone who reads for leisure.

Was the author conflating the two? I can't imagine properly processing the contents of 40 non-fiction books in a year.
