I appreciate that there's enough books for a lifetime. It don't matter much to me whether we have collectively more than enough or not; I find myself most of the time reading old books (about 3/4 of what I read this year wasn't from the 21st century) but that's just me. Though I don't want to imprisoned by the knowledge those books bring for the entirety of my life, I want to be closer to Nature, contribute to my community and apply this knowledge in useful places.
