Choosing a good book, which is deep and requires focus, and taking the time to fully appreciate it, is much better than reading 10 other books. If you go by the numbers you'll never set aside the time for reading Dostoevski or Proust or Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian. It's not about the numbers.
In the same way, it's much nicer to have a good dish from a good chef than chucking down 10 burgers.
