Bravo, happy reader user! How can anybody get so freaked out over not being able to download 700 books in a jiffy? By the time he finishes reading his first 100 books, eConnect will probably have been obsolete for many years. Just contemplating the titles in his collection will probably take him days, perhaps weeks, before he finally sets out reading the first book in the list. Obsession can truly be an ironic thing--just like being in love with the idea of love itself and not actually being able to be in love. In the same vein, it is completely possible for a person to just love the list of books in his collection, rather than the wisdom and knowledge contained in them. "Look," he says, "I have 700 hundred books in my collection!" You ask him how many he has read. He's bewildered, scratching his head : "Oh, is that the whole point to it?"
