I find it hard to believe that anyone could have books on difficult subjects like mathematics, philosophy, etc. and actually read 5000 of them in any contemplative way.
You could spend months alone reading, re-reading, consulting commentaries and attempting to understand Kant's Critique of Pure Reason alone.
