This is worse. When it was pbooks it was about a stack or two and the bulk of unread books still used to live in the bookshop.Now it is 700 unread ebooks waiting for me. Not even at home, no, in my pocket!!

It is TERRYFYING

I feel your pain - I have a stack to my right, another to my left and three reading devices on the desk in front of me - hundreds of books to read and only one pair of eyes (and behind my back-up glasses no less.)

I'm up to well over 500 "to be read" ebooks. It's out of control, yes, but I don't care. I can't stop. I don't want to stop.

Yeah - that one image is enough to scare the bejeezus out of me. I can't remember how many times I've seen that episode.

Yes, it is. Specially when you begin "zapping" through them and suddenly you find yourself well into 5 or more books at the same time!

Seems like a common issue with the information age: its attempt at creating post-humans by overloading them with info and filtering out who's best at multitasking...

TERRYFYING! That's it!

I like the evolution part. Never thought I might be pushing it forward for human kind
