I cannot relate to this at all. The more I read, the more topics I get interested in, and the more I'm part of various communities of book readers (mostly watching BookTube or listening to podcasts), the bigger the list of books I want to read grows. My "want to read" list, of books that I actually wrote down in a file somewhere, is 1,000 books long, and that doesn't include many other books that I never wrote down.
And I read a lot, compared to most people.
- vidarh 2y agoThat you read a lot might well make you an outlier in terms of what you're willing to read. I read a lot too, in bursts, and I find that while I do have some strong preferences where it's hard to find stuff I really like, I'm flexible enough that I certainly can find a neverending stream of books that are "good enough". But a lot of people have really high thresholds for how interesting a book need to sound to them for them to even consider it.
