how can people actually read things that are so long
Once upon a time there were these things called "books".
They were made out of dead trees, bound together with various emulsifying agents, and then had pigment added to them in patterns on each thin slice of dead tree. Some of these contained well over 100,000 words, which was all the knowledge of the world in regards to a singular, all important topic, such as boy wizards, teen vampires, or rings that were precious for some sort of bondage ritual.
 
A book I'm currently reading in this vein is The Psychology of Influence. Highly recommended - that is, if you still read those "thin slices of dead tree."
