How does it make you feel you'll never get to read every great book ever written?

I wish I would have stopped spending time on those that feel mid to me for starters

I'm ok with that, I would never run out of great books. Imagine hitting 40/50/60 years and all you have left is mid and bad stuff to read.

Okay, though I imagine I could probably get close if that's all I did.

The same way I feel about not being able to read every great book that was lost forever throughout history. It is what it is.

are you enjoying the fact your troll thread is going down without a single catch on your bait image, OP?

I did a rough calculation when I was like 8? And I was really sad, because somehow I had the idea I'd have read all the books in the library when I was middle age or so.
If only I knew then how little time there is to read as an adult I'd have been even more sad.

most books don't free oneself from suffering

not even that book can free you from suffering. doubtless you will object to my statement. that is because you are not in love with the buddhadharma.

If other people read the books I can not, I am satisfied.

Just listen to music instead but not the gay pop unironically or the rap.

A brainless foid posted a jewtube video the other day saying she's going to read all the books she owns and make videos about them
I told her "Stupid cunt, all that means is you're missing out on all the great books"

Great. Because I cannot read every great book, I am freed from all pressure to try and can read whatever I want instead.
