To read too many books is harmful.
I go through stages with all kinds of stuff. There'll be a couple of months where I'm reading, you know, like, fiction mystery novels, and there'll be a couple more where I'll be redecorating a room in my house.
I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.
I finish, like, one book in a day. That's my problem. That's why Kindle is good for me, because I put, like, 15 books in it.
Once I start reading something, I can't stop. I obsessively read, which is a problem with long books!
I'm a sporadic reader. I have moments when I can't stop... then I kind of forget that I can read. But then I go, 'Oh God, yeah, books!'
I'm usually reading too many books - in fact, I'm usually reading enough books that if the stack fell on me, I'd be injured.
I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.
My most fertile reading time is when I have just finished a project and haven't started another. I binge-read and surf around bookstores.
I love reading but I never last very long because I fall asleep right away.
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
