Getting an eBook reader has made me so much worse for this lol. I ended up trawling through a bunch of public domain book sites so now I'm permanently carrying around a ~700 book unread backlog.

Pair that with my Library’s Libby and I am completely overwhelmed.

Oh yeah I wasn't even thinking about that too!

Damn, you are not reading books at a rate never before possible.

Not only that, you should see my Steam backlog and 4TB external drive full of downloaded movies!

Extended editions ! Director's cuts I'll watch someday ! Indie games I'll play anytime now ! and all this loot that'll surely come in handy during the endgame !

It really doesn’t help that over the last few years I’ve been getting all sorts of ebooks on sale thinking I’ll get to them eventually, they’re on sale so it’s not so bad, it’s fine… hundreds of books later.
