(no subject)

Does anybody else ever get overwhelmed by all the books that are out there? I mean, my to-be-read list is threatening to take over the world, and every day I come across new things that I want to read.

Sometimes I get a little panicked when I realize that there are books out there that I will never read, maybe never even hear about - what if these are the books that would change my life, be my constant companion, cheer me up no matter how deep my funk? After all, some of my favourite authors - Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, Christopher Brookmyre - I picked up on a whim, having never heard of them before (mostly because I liked the titles, sad as that is). What if I'm missing the best book I'll (n)ever read??
