I take a little longer to read specialized books. But I read medium-length books quite quickly. Read about 3 books a day.

Yeah it's a problem
I have really wide interests and then the things that I think.. one day I want to do that and I will pickup books I have no intention of reading now but want just in case. More often that stuff is library sale fodder anymore over new. I have a massive reference library both physical and digital. Just the cookbook section in my physical library is close to two floor to ceiling bookshelves 4 ft wide by 8 ft tall. I have sections on pets, animals, nature, survival, camping, photography, woodworking, boat building and repair, construction in all areas of it, art of almost every branch from drawing, painting, glass blowing, pottery, weaving, cooking, gardening, farming, animal husbandry, medicine, herbs and pharmacy, geography, math, science of many fields, metal working/forging, welding, plus a thousand more. I have lots of old 1st editions from the late 1800's to current times. most of those are fiction and science fiction. There are a fair scattering of really old how to books for construction and living in a simpler non industrialize world. I might have read 1 in 20 of most of those. but every year I dig a few out as need or interest dictates and get good stuff out of them.
