I agree reading should be a bit backseat to actual writing (and the sculpture analogy is a great one - anyone who claims they learned how to centre clay in less than several hours of wrestling it into submission is a damn liar.) Ah, but that much reading is still a wonderful word-count-reward dream to have. Thanks for the comment, Scott!

A book a week? I wish I could keep up with that pace. It's admirable and important, but if you're an aspiring author I think reading has to come after you get your writing done. You can only learn so much from reading the work of others. It's the difference between studying a sculpture, and learning with your hands by making sculpture after sculpture. Meet your word-count goals first, then if you have time, read. Good luck! “Doing nothing is for wussies” indeed. A book a week? I wish I could keep up with that pace.
