Suppose you read 20 books a year. With 50 years of life, that's 1000 more books in your lifetime. (Or 2000, or 5000).
Why waste a slot on a book that isn't useful? Many books, esp. modern non-fiction, are needlessly padded to fill a length requirement (since a 20-page "book" can't be taken seriously).
