About This Quote

If you have read 6,000 books in your lifetime, or even 600, it's probably because at some level you find 'reality' a bit of a disappointment. The idea is that if you've read 6,000 books in your lifetime you're not really reading anymore. If you've read 6,000 books in your lifetime, what are you doing? You're thinking about the world and yourself and the way things are. It's like looking for hope or purpose outside yourself. This quote is saying that when things get bad enough, we sometimes turn to books to help us make sense of life.
