Do you ever think about the fact that you'll never get to read all the books you want to before you die?
pro tip: you can apply this to all the pleasures of life
There honestly isn't a huge amount of authors worth reading, relatively. Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Proust, DFW. When you narrow it don to only the best, your reading list becomes a lot more managable.
I become less and less ambitious all the time. I don't really care anymore, you start to expect you might not actually want to read all of them anyway. Disappointment after disappointment. Music is worse.
i'll read most of them, because i'm NEET and read for at least 12 hours a day

yes I do. It's a constant notion I live with. Not to mention after 5 or 10 years I forget most about even my favorite books, so I would have to be rereading constantly too. By the way, does anyone feel the urge to reread a book after just finishing the last page? I get that all the time. But I know I just don't have the luxury of time to do that. Life is cruel
I think about it but it doesn't bother me. I am but a single man
I probably will read most of the best books, so it's ok, I don't worry.
