My first semester of graduate school, one of my professors did some math that showed how many books it was possible to read in a lifetime. I know that sounds vague. The thing is, even as he was explaining, I was already halfway tuned out and figuring out why what he was talking about didn’t apply to me – I had always been a fast reader, and I read for fun more than most people, and anyway, all those calculations were slippery. What counted as a book? How long did it have to be?
All the books we'll never read
All the books we'll never read
