first of all i don’t “read books” in the classical sense. i think that the better the author, the fewer words they need to get their point across. (there’s a joke from zen buddhism that says that the truly wise master does not need a single word to make a student understand something.)
as a consequence, reading long texts and the accompanying physical pain are not an issue.
