Besides bragging rights, there are other benefits to reading 100 books a year. Here's one example:
While driving home this morning, I heard this song on the radio - "The Great Defector" by Bell X1. First time I've ever heard this song. It's not that great. Turns out it's by some obscure Irish band (well, obscure in the U.S., quite popular in Ireland). BUT - the first verse has a very clear reference to John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men which I just happened to read the day before! Just think, if I had not read that book yesterday I would not have caught the reference!
Well, I thought it was cool. Even if the song was no good.

That's very cool. I need to read a book.
Books with Benefits? What does Steve think about this?
