Great article! I'm doing a lot of exploration reading now as I'm doing a "1 book/day" reading challenge. I've been accumulating suitable books (~ 200 pages or less) for this challenge for a while, mostly from a community library and also from friends and family.

The result is that I've been reading quite a few books last week that I otherwise wouldn't read. There's just one book I started but quickly set aside. I enjoyed the other books.

So, yes, I highly recommedn more exploration reads.
