The one thing I think is that there is too much crap out there. I wonder how it was 'back then', in, let's say, 1850.

If at this time 90% of all books are crap, was it still like that back then? Did we have 10 good books and 90 crap books a year back then, and now we have 1 million good books and 90 million crap books... so MORE good books, but MUCH harder to find?

Sometimes I feel that the huge amount of books does devalue reading. It doesn't matter what I'm reading, but often I'm thinking I should be reading something else. What? I don't know. Just... 'something else' that is 'very good' and 'very important' and stuff. Hard to explain.
