Only 2999 More to Go

Based on an informal calculation, I’ve calculated that I will read only about 3000 more books in my lifetime.

Here’s the math:

I’m guessing I’ll live to be about 80. Since I’m 24, that only leaves me 56 more reading years. If I read one book a week, I’ll read about 52 books a year.

That’s 52 books x 56 years = 2912 books / year

Since that number seemed low, I rounded up to 3000. That doesn’t seem like a whole lot, somehow.

I guess I’d better get reading.
