There is time to read quite a bit. I figure that I have time to read about 450,000 pages if I read 50 pages per day, 300 days per year over my remaining life expectancy. That’s nine hundred books averaging 500 pages each. Even if I only get to 500 books, that’s a lot.

I’ve also been reading my old journal entries and finding profound insights within my own archived pages.
Feel this when the stack on my night stand grows to eclipse the reading light and they get shifted onto the pile on the floor or the pile on the desk or the pile next to the desk...

I would add that 'truly inspired' works are even more scarce.
