Over solicited fans walk kilometers in the big book fairs, checking more than 700 stands, waiting in line for their favorite author, etc. No wonder they pass your table, laden with heavy bags, their eyes blank…

Yes, I am usually nicer to my faithful public!
I have “guesstimated” the average number of kilometers the public walk in an average book fair like the Salon du livre de Montréal: quite a lot! Around 6 kilometers (excluding the walk inside the Congress Center to get there! )
So, yes, reading is good for your health!
