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

I’m just trying to determine if people here read and understand what they read! No offence meant!

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...)
