2000 books

An often declared New Year's Resolution is to read 50 books over the coming year. This is a fairly logical number as it works out to about one book per week. However, it dawned on me that being 32 years old now, and having perhaps 40 years left of life on this ball of dirt, then I would only read 2000 books in the rest of my lifetime.

Only 2000 books!

And I've already read one this year so I only have 1999 left.

So depressing.

Though, perhaps I've come up with a cunning way to cheat death. I'll read 1998 more books. Then I won't read a book again. Since my lifespan is 2000 books, I will have become immortal.

Though, I think my logic is flawed somewhere there.

Perhaps I should read a book on logic.
