Instead of many, why not read a few? It's not all or nothing.

That's why I get up early in the morning.

Without books life wouldn't be short enough.

I don't read too many books nowadays, but I listen to a lot. Audio books are the best thing since real books were invented.

Books are like windows, every time you open one you can see into a different place, world or time. You can be a part of someone else's life or even someone else for a while. It is kind of like living different lives and experiences at one time.

But do not get stuck reading just one type of book, read everything. I read cereal boxes at breakfast.
Variety is what makes the world go round.
