So I read 200 pages a day for a week (link is to a textpost) and the most insightful thing I gained from it, outside of the knowledge resulting from the books themselves obviously, is that I'm going to be stopping all tracking of the books i read. Quantification of reading makes reading a secondary activity as opposed to the focus, everything becomes reduced to data. So much of life is already reduced to statistics, it seems silly to impose even more rationalization to life.
