Impressive. Even at my max, I never quite reached your reading rate. These days, I read 40-70 novel’s worth of fiction a year, much of it short.

No, but I likely will soon. I really need to catch up on Robbins and a lot of other old favorite writers - I haven't read him in decades!
Since around 1997, my choice of books has been restricted by a desire to read as much in electronic edition as possible. Since mainstream publishers tend to overcharge obscenely for e-books (a Robbins e-novel costs about $9, not a lot more, inflation adjusted, than it cost in its original trade paperback), I’ve tended to read a lot of e-only, self-e-published, Creative Commons licensing, etc. writers, many very obscure, many very poor, a few obscure but wonderful.
