Default Why read that much?

Agreed. We (people who enjoy reading) often overlook the important application part of reading.

This goes for all you book-per-week readers out there (myself included): instead working up to reading a book a week, wean yourself down to reading only one really good page per week. Invest the extra time you have in APPLYING what you learn.

Suddenly reading a multitude of books per week seems easy in comparison.
