What I need to learn and remember is that I will never ever EVER be able to read every single book ever written. Not even if I quit school and did nothing but read all day every day for the rest of my life. It saddens me to realize this however, as much I love to read, that's not a life - spent with my nose in an book every second of every day (as tempting as that sounds) What I need to do is quit thinking about the books I want to read "one day" or in the future, and just read what I have in front of me, right now. Worry about those "one day" books when I come to them. Collecting books without reading them is a bad hobby that wastes time and money. All that time I've been buying books that I still haven't read, could have been spent on reading books I've bought and never read! And all that money could be spent on Starbucks or clothes or put away in the bank to be saved. I'm interested in too many subjects and there are too many books to chose from on said subjects. I'll never learn and know every single thing there is to know about every single thing in the universe!

A hard lesson to be sure!
