So Many Books, So Little Time

I am an avid reader as I am sure many of you here on myLot also are. Sometimes I feel as though I could pitch a tent inside the library and be happy there reading my life away.
There are so many books out there I know I will never be able to read as many as I want. However I will make that old college try.
What's going on with you today? In my happy little world I will be inside. It will be in the 90's today, way too hot for me. So I will be sitting back enjoying the air conditioning, reading (big surprise, I know), writing, and researching.
I know what you're thinking. Yep, she's doing the same old same old. That's ok, I like my life. Besides, at least I will be cool and my faithful companion (my little Luke) will be quietly by my side.

My greatest fear is going into Barnes and Noble and getting locked in at night because of all the books they have, but boy what a wonderful fear that one is. All the books at my disposal, and a couch to read/sleep on until they open the doors the next morning.

Most of us do the same old same old and what difference does it make if we are happy.

It is impossible to read all the books....that is why they are categorized as fiction and non fiction. Most of the non fiction books are either text books or reference Books which comes handy when needed. In fiction section as per our liking we can read the books as and when we get time! I personally purchase a book and keep it my library to read it when I get time! Thanks!

I feel the same way. I used to make a list of the ones I wanted to try to get to. My fantasy is having one of those old fashioned libraries where it is wall-to-wall books and a sliding ladder to get to them. I would hunker down in the bay window box and read until I fall asleep.

Books are our spiritual food. The library is a good place in hot summer. I'm going to take my child to the library, too.

@mlgen1037 different amount each month depending on what else is going on. I typically read between 1-3 books a week.

I love to read too and always have a book onhand. I always tell my kids my greatest fear is I will die before I can read all the books I want to read. 
Since new ones are always coming out the likelihood of that happening is pretty realistic
Your days don't sound that much different than mine.

Me too...I feel the same way you do...In fact that's why I have cut out my lifting and other social media time as it was intruding into my reading time...So not here all the time like I used to be.
Right now reading a children's book in the Roman mysteries series
