How do you cope? I think I’ve been getting used to the idea of just letting things pass me by. I like the stream analogy because it does make it seem like anytime I reach in I can grab something fresh and wonderful, but it does still leave a little bit of anxiety that it will somehow run out someday. The needles metaphor also has me wondering whether I should be looking for more hay! Needles can be quite dense and get overwhelming, but maybe getting through some hay will have a sense of movement without the pressure of everything I read having to be life changing.

Books in my possession at the sharp end, books on my buy later list and wish list further up the funnel. Delaying acquisition helps filter out a large number. Permitting myself to abandon books mid-read has also been liberating.
