No? Just me? Ok. I'll go sit in my corner and be quiet.
Seriously though, do you ever get discouraged by the fact that a single human life-time is just not enough to read all the books that are worth reading?
(And let's face it, they are all worth reading - even the bad ones, because even the bad ones have something to say about you, about life, about everything.)
If I carry on reading at the pace of about 200 books a year, it'll take me five years to reach 1000 - millions of new books are published every year. That's well over 5 million books in the time that it takes me to read 1000. Sigh.
That doesn't mean I'm going to stop - hell, no! It's better to read a fraction of the books available, than to read no books at all!
(On a related note: this lady is now my hero.)
Happy Reading! ;)

There is a lot of calculation going on in this! I think for know we'll just have to try and read reallyyy fast lol!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I'm not so good at the maths - which is why I kept it fairly simple. Lol ;)
DeleteTrust me, I do understand this feeling! It's the main reason why I never stop buying books or adding more to my TBR. There are just so many that I want to read, and basically all of them will do for me. Best keep reading and conquer as many as possible.
ReplyDeleteTrue - keep reading and never surrender! :)
