"If you read a novel in more than two weeks you don’t read the novel really."
Then who but academics--or maybe graduate students--can read War and Peace, The Man Without Qualities, In Search of Lost Time (or really, most of its constituent books), Moby Dick, etc.?
And I can imagine being "partial" to calling myself a reader, but "amicable" seems the wrong word.
