Well, I remember in high school not being able to read 148-page books that I was really interested in (literally), because my anal teacher upheld the 150-page minimum.
As a consequence, I would create my own books to fill up the reading log with fodder, or I would extend a 30-page gas-station book to 153 pages and read random passages and put comments for that reading day about how "interesting" this and that was. At least they were easy A's.
Different people are at different levels, and these kinds of standardizations marginalize some people. I grew up in the ADD-generation of TV and Internet. Just reading a book that doesn't have any pictures and is over 50 pages is a milestone for me.
The concept of reading an entire book that is 200 pages is beyond my comprehension (especially when you have hundreds of other things to do). Although, when I finish with this semester I'm going to force myself to read the books I have lying around.
