on the one hand I too enjoy this (and same with video games and movies and tv tbh) but i also dislike it because i find myself wanting to experience it all, knowing it isn’t possible, and then trying to optimize my experiences instead of actually enjoying them. but thats totally a me issue

it feels great reading even "okay" or "bad" books

I still remember my childhood realisation that even as a very fast reader I would never be able to read all the books in the world.
It was an agony to think that I would die with books, potentially wonderful, amazing books, unread.
Then I found out about Barbara Cartland and was reconciled.

as a kid, one of my conceptions of Heaven was that you would have time to read every book you wanted, and if Heaven doesn't already have that then I think they should add it

I used to work at the Bavarian State Library. By law, two copies of every printed publication that appears in Bavaria must be submitted to the library. Since 1663.

I remember Sagan's quote about books.

I started reading (age level, of course) on my own at age 5.

So I've been reading for almost 60 years.

Granted, I write as well, but I'd rather read than do just about any other activity.

I love you see it as a positive thing. Makes me just want to give up reading or trying to understand anything.

I've stopped watching tv for the time being. Don't want politics or ads. I have been listing to audio books and I feel saner.

'How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read' is a wonderful book btw

Great book and a really solid debut for the author, second the rec

deranton.bsky.social•90 days ago

My current library would take me a lifetime to read, and I’m still out here buying every book that strikes my fancy.

Hopeful for neuro advancements to triple my reading speed, at which point I will surely quadruple the books I buy.

jeanlucbacardi.bsky.social•90 days ago

My biggest problem these days is finishing books. Not because the one I'm reading isn't good, but because I'll see a new one that looks really interesting and lose my sense of object permanence
