When I saw the title I thought the article would be about the dreadful stress of keeping up with new tech or research.. But it's about spare time reading?
Granted the problem seems similar, but only because the author is in the field of reading (working in books related profession).
I'm not sure how much it can be applied to just hobby reading. Stress of keeping up with tech/research comes from a sense of professional obligations (you'll fall behind to your professional peers) but there's not much of stress if you're in it as a leisure /hobby; it's not inherently competitive activity.
So the conclusion is not that helpful. It's targeted to a very small audience (people that work in a field where reading books and keeping up with the latest books, are important) and is essentially "don't worry about it!"
