Is it worth it to specialize in a field?
I'm naturally inclined toward reading books about any and all subjects, but as a result have no real deep knowledge of any subject which essentially renders me unemployable as far as any real careers go.
I'd consider myself kind of well-rounded at this point. I have about 1300 more books to get to that I have downloaded, should I just delete them once I find a field to specialize in and focus solely on that? Would the benefits (money, subject mastery, etc) outweigh what I'd gain by continuing on my current path?

There is no reason why you can't do both, OP. You can choose one field to specialise in and make a career out of, while spending your own time reading up on a wide variety of subjects on your own.
Field specialists are always wanted, all depends on what you are interested in focusing your time on. But deleting books isn't really needed, reading about subjects will broaden your view and might come handy with dealing with future clients.
What field are you interested in? Also knowing languages is never a waste.

You are mistaking your career/hobby with being well read/ cultured, one doesnt stop the other, most people who excell at something are also cultured, it helps you see stuff feom other perspective instead of looking at the same topic for years

Kek I have like 30gb of textbooks on science
The problem is only specialists/people who do work good know which books are good stuff and which are shit.
Have you got a degree, anon and try to learn what you want to do?
You have to specialise anyway bro, a good knowledge of how everything generally works is useless for employment.
Maybe not only in one topic though but in 2-3 similar to be more flexible
