How much do you read, and to what degree do you learn facts?

I am a lecturer so a lot of my reading is related to my specialism*. However, my major pastime activity (indoors**) is reading for pleasure. I get through about 200 books of fiction each year. Once I find a new (to me) author I like, I buy their entire canon.
The current one is Ben Aaronovitch. (Not touched his graphic novels yet...)

*Mediaeval History
** Apart from sex!

I read a "lot" but i have a tendency to skip read when i get going. My mind will fill in the blanks, so to speak.

This can lead to some hilarious sections that come out as "i ate the dog's jumpers" and i am still not sure why that sticks in my head. Lol

I’ll come back to this question when someone that knows how to read can help me out

Yes I read - mostly regarding WW1 and WW2🙂🥢

I read for pleasure, not necessarily to learn something.

At face value I don’t believe anything I read unless it is about an All Blacks win.
