Book-a-day club

My sister-in-law suggested this challenge to me: Read a book a day in 2013.
Slate's pious Jeff Ryan begins by telling us that he has absolutely no bad habits to address in New Year's Resolutions. (I might humbly suggest he look into curbing his narcissism.) Therefore, he had chosen as his 2012 resolution to read a book a day. And then he writes this lovely article about how he totally did it. 366 BOOKS!!
Now I read a lot. But even in my best weeks, I was only getting about five books in. So, I read on thinking I might get some tips or find out that he spent nine hours a day with his nose in a book or he was speed-reading.
Nope. None of those (although I question his devotion to laundry duty). He cheated. He counts in his 366 books comic books, which is a barely borderline "book." I don't know anyone who can't throw back at least five a night. Even the graphic novels which are actually thick enough to look like a book don't take more than an hour or so to read. But, far worse (and the actual cheat I refer to) is his reliance on audiobooks.
Now, don't get me wrong, audiobooks have their place and listening to a book read well can be enjoyable, BUT listening to a book is NOT the same as reading one. Listening is passive. Reading is active. Reading involves more of your whole being. Audiobooks are a cheat. They are as much of a cheat as watching Roman Polanski's "Tess" instead of reading Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
I watched the BBC's Pride and Prejudice, so I read a book, right?
