I do have that horrible knowledge that there are so many good books I will never get to read because they write more while I am reading and I have a couple or so millennia to make up.
IF everyone else dies at some point
IF all the things written are stored in a way that ensures they stik around forever or until you read them
IF these things are written in/are translated into languages you can read
IF you don't get bored
IF you don't run out of memory space, which can be unhelpful in more than one way
You MIGHT be able to read all the good books there are.
Have fun with the crappy ones, though.

I don't measure myself against other people by number of books read.

Probably. It just seems like a shame that you'd figure you like him, and yet don't.

That's a good way of looking at it... a filter to steer people towards the books worth their while.

I do notice the same, but it doesn't make me depressed or ashamed
