I don't think my students read a ton, but in every single one of my classes, they read more than this Stanford student. And they all actually read because I speak with them about it. 

In my basic screenplay class they read at least 4-6 scripts along with watching 4-6 films. In Adaptation, they read 1 play, 1 novel, 1 long form article, 1 graphic novel, and 1 children's book. Along with all the film or tv adaptations.

I read several books a year out loud with my kids cover to cover - and I mean real books. Just finished Treasure Island. Have read Charlotte's Web 2x times. Tom Sawyer. Doing an abridged Moby Dick right now. Did graphic novel versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Not even mentioning all the non-fiction. Interesting to think about this. I tend to think there is some extra value in cover-to-cover reading. Especially when becoming "educated." Not about the efficiency but rather the accomplishment - maybe we create some sort of neural pathways when working through an entire work.
