Maybe I should get rid of this one...

This is one of those unreasonable goals, though I do think it inspires a positive mindset. I don’t think I’ll ever actually read all of the books I possess, and maybe I shouldn’t even aspire to. A sure sign that someone isn’t a book person is that they come into your house and say, “Wow, have you actually read all of these?!?”
