It's not about reading to impress anyone else. It's about reading for the sheer enjoyment of it all...
I am reading a book right now, but it's a "beta" -- hasn't gone to the editor yet. I'm one of the lucky ones selected by the author to read it and then share honestly any criticisms and plot flow issues, etc. The big stipulation is that I cannot breathe a word of the story. I'm almost done with it. Should finish it tonight. I am enjoying it!
