The question is whether why you would ever want to read 50 books a year; as if reading as many was an indication of... of what, exactly?
My take is that it is more worth to read 10 books year you learn / get something for you from rather than 50 just for the sake of ticking a checkbox off the list.
The main reason behind this is to enforce decision of letting Russian gas in i.e. to have NS2 officially opened. With power shortages -- in the whole Europe -- that this shutdown will only make worse, blocking NS2 will no longer look as a viable option.
