So, I rearranged my bookcases and decided that I own well over a thousand books. Then, I was thinking, what's the biggest library in the world? Well, it's the Library of Congress with over 29 million books. Then I began to ponder: Could I read 29 million books in my life? I quickly realized it was impossible, because even while I read a book a day (365 books in a year), that wouldn't even get me to a million, let alone 29 million.
Then I was thinking: I read more than 365 books in a year, because I can get through 10 books of poetry in a day. So, then I thought a little more: Depending on how many books of poetry and other short works I read, I could feasibly reach a million books in my life. So, that's one of my goals.
Currently, I'm at 1,300 and some.

ha! No way I could read a million in my life. I'm lucky to read a book a month!
