I think I may have a reading problem

From Shelf Awareness:
If setting a good example will increase the number of readers in the U.S., then Amanda Patchin, owner of Veritas Fine Books, Garden City, Idaho, is setting an example extraordinaire. Her goal is to read 200 books--79,349 pages--this year. The marathon read is Patchin's response to the bad news about reading habits as summed up in last year's NEA report, "To Read or Not To Read: A Question of National Consequence." One of the findings was that young Americans spend an average of only seven minutes a day reading for pleasure.According to the Idaho Statesman, Patchin, 27, "has obviously not participated in those studies. . . . [She] has read about 10,000 pages since Jan. 1. That's more than 200 pages a day." You can learn more about her quest at 200books.com, where she sums it up this way: "200 books in 2008. Selected from Everyman's Library. Reading while caring for a toddler and a new baby and running a small business. With daily blog posts chronicling the attempt. Yeah, I'm nuts."

My first reaction is: yeah, so? 200 books, what's the big deal? Since January 1, I've read approximately 50 books (yes, I've been known to read 2-3 books a day on weekends). At this rate, we're looking at almost 450 books this year. I fail to see how reading 200 books in a year garners press.

Well, I guess maybe because she doesn't have the benefit of being in two lit review classes to spur her along. But, if that's the case, then the 10 books I read in the first two weeks of January (aka, before school started) would still put me at almost 300 books for the year.

Am I right to feel superior to this, or depressed because it's not like I'm going to be acknowledged for my incredible reading prowess? Or is it just that this chick is 27 and owns her own bookstore...
