Personally, I am trying to read 15 books this year and mix in more non-fiction books.

Ah thanks for clarifying. Would you not say that reading it slower would be the more enjoyable method? If you're after escapism, wouldn't it be better to engage yourself fully in the plot? At least for me, I find escapism works best when I'm fully immersed in the story's world and characters. What you've described sounds more akin to someone skimming a research paper.

True, perhaps a case of doing too much of anything over a long period ;)

Well I hope you're able to slow down the pace a bit (assuming that's what you want)!
