I try to watch Beck whenever I can. The radio program is impossible for me to hear.

I simply do find it quite unlikely that has actually read all of the books that he speaks about so knowingly on the TV.

No Human could be that prolific of a reader, not in my experience.

Actually I don’t believe Glenn has ever claimed to have read all the books discussed on his show. More often than not he has the actual writers on to discuss their books. He did two days with Dinesh DeSouza last week. On Friday he had John Bolton, Stewart Varney, and Daniel Hannon on the show.

Speed-reading is a learnable skill; while I’ve never learned it I used to be able to read a whole novel (350-400 pgs, or there abouts) in a day. {I’ve slowed down a bit, it took me two days to read a 500 page novel this last week.} My point is that reading is a skill and you CAN sharpen/practice/train it up to impressive levels.

FWIW, I’ve averaged three books a week for 45 years.

Not all heavy stuff, by any means, but still a lot of books.
