Realization

[anogete]

There are too many books in the world that I desperately want to read. This thought is at once both depressing and exciting. I'll mention nothing of the multitude of fandoms that I wish to devote my energy and time to. Can I just sit at home all day and immerse myself in make-believe?

When I say it like that, it hardly seems healthy.

It's not such a bad place to go on occasion. Don't worry, RL won't leave you there very long.

Oh, are we not supposed to do that? Damn, I've got to rethink my life here....

Well, in the words of Prof. David Damrosch, author of the book What Is World Literature?: ‘The eternal problem of the comparatist is “How the fuck can I read enough?”’.

So true.
