No, there is only too little time for reading.

Not enough. We need more, a lot more.

Yes. There shouldn't be more than 37 books at any given time.

Yes. There are too many terrible books out there, just look at the self help section of any typical bookstore.

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.
