It is quite simply more than 400 books long. And I keep adding more to it. In fact, just today I was pondering if I'm ever going to be able to eat through this fucking thing in its entirety, specially since TODAY I added 55 more books to the pile. It's almost entirely non-fiction, something like 25 books are novels.

I'm reading for three hours a day and I think I'm going to be done precisely never.

It never ends. Without a backlog, what am I? Without movement, I simply wouldn't exist. Yes... never read, only fill the backlog and contemplate it's sheer scale. I synthesize invisible information purely by being in the presence of it all. Every time you read, you waste a moment you could have spent NOT reading. That is of course purposefully NOT reading, in fact. I just edge the books. I edge to my backlog (metaphorically). I don't need to read, cause I have eyes. My eyes. With eyes you can see any word you want, anywhere. Authors are just trying to sell you something you don't need, and by denying them that privilege, you are asserting your destiny over pure information. When you backlog, it's like having sex with a prostitute before walking out without paying, naked. And the thing is, she loved it. Then you get married and with CRISPR erase all her previous sex partners from her genetic archives, rendering her a virgin. But it's more than some mere vulgarity of the flesh, it's the fact that you have now manifested destiny itself, through such an act. It's a two way street, reading. You reading the book and the book 'being-read' by you. How many people really understand that? What is a book, really, if you're blind? Nah, having a backlog has nothing to do with reading, because nobody really knows what reading actually is. Having a backlog is actually manifest destiny.

In terms of physical books, hundreds. In terms of books on my list, thousands.

I go through my screen shots and notes every few years and make a list of books that interest me. I'm currently working on list 3, the others are each about 50 pages long. I don't know if I'll ever read a fraction of the books on them, but they serve as an interesting personal bibliography.
