I'm impressed he read to many books! Makes me wonder what I'm doing with my time :(

Sell your TV and make it a conscious choice to not look at a screen past say 7pm.

I've been reading a minimum of one novel a week and from one to three tech/design/cooking/misc/etc books a month over the past 16 years. Sure there are exceptions, for example reading Game of Thrones took me at least two weeks per novel and the third book took me a full month.

Also, get a kindle. I don't read much technical books on it but it's a godsend for novels and not accumulating a bunch of paperbacks. Unless you don't enjoy reading as a pastime, in which case don't waste your time because you can actually burn out reading too much.

Try taking public transport, if you can. An hour on a bus may sound worse than a 30 minute drive, but if you spend it reading you may well enjoy it more.

I'm wondering if we could get a quick script to count how many pages are in the 75 books listed so we can understand how much did he actually read :-D.

Not really a script, but if you use goodreads to track your read books, you can see the number of pages.
