I love tip number 6. I get that overwhelming sense of guilt for not being able to finish a book.

I love tip number 6. I get that overwhelming sense of guilt for not being able to finish a book.
- kalid 17y agoI read a sobering fact somewhere -- we'll only be able to read about 1000 books in our lifetime (50 years, 20 books a year or nearly 2 a month). Maybe 2000 or 3000 if you're a voracious reader. Given that, it doesn't make sense to waste time with a bad book when it's taking the place of a better one. This helped me with that same guilt.
- sireat 17y agoI agree with what you are saying, but a voracious reader could easily hit 10k books by late middle age. 200 books a year is not that many.
