Cheers! And nonsense, man, I go through at least a couple of books a week. I generally find that interspersing new (nonfiction) prose material with fiction and rereads of old favorites (fiction or not) helps alleviate mental exhaustion. And it's amazing how much time you free up when you don't watch television or play videogames.
You should try it.
I'm retired now, and I still can't keep up that pace. And "dense" reading challenges me as never before. As much as I laughed out loud at times while wading through Cervantes' Don Quixote, I gave up halfway through. The many vignettes, strung together one after the other, became too ponderous.
