Reading fiction isn’t about the books, it’s about yourself. The books are a stimulus to introspect about your relation to the text.

As long as you keep changing, the quantity of books to read is infinite. I like the analogy of the article that books are like a stream and just dip in and pick the one of the moment and let the rest float by. It’s only people who don’t change enough who consume too much from the same point in the stream and feel the effects of water sickness.
