oh my god, this just opened my eyes. i've been a lifelong learner, but it all stems from being a little kid who used books to escape a shitty childhood. i am always "learning" but also always exhausted and i legit didn't put this all together until now. i'm gonna try this.

Yep, my reading peaked when I read 45,000 pages of books in a year, including many classics and large non-fiction (think Gödel Escher Bach). Then I realized my life wasn’t all that much better for it and other areas of my life were suffering. I still love reading, but all things in moderation.
Happy trails!
