Many years ago while caring for an ill parent I subsisted on one shopping bag of books per week. I hauled home a bag apiece for my mother and self.
Only in reader forums will people understand ONE shopping bag of books a week is quite limiting.

One week I chanced on a ten book series of SF from an author I was unfamiliar with. All that week I forced myself through one boring misadventure after another. Only the colorfully perverted attempts at lewdness gave any (very very little) relief.

I can attest by virtue of 61 years of reading and an English degree that L. Ron Hubbard invented a religion as useless as his prose.
