"Personal" question(s) to John Jarrold

Well, I'm not going to ask you your favorite meal... (at least, not now, maybe later). I was just reading the thread called: "How books are chosen by UK publishers" and read the passage:

Quote:
Basically, every editor in London will receive around thirty books a week, ...
This raised the question to me... How many books to you read in, say, a month?

Even when I enjoy reading really much, there are days when I really can't finish a single page! I guess it's just like a 'normal' job for you, sometimes you just don't feel like going to work, but what do you do when you really have to push yourself reading a story?

And, lastly, can you read a story without your editing eye? I mean, if you just read, for example, the new King and see something only editor's see, can you still really enjoy reading books?
