I try to read regularly and would call myself an avid reader. I usually average around 25-35 books a year (this year has been pretty good so far, I'm on my 42nd book currently). But I still often feel like I’m not “well read.”
Maybe it’s because the history of literature and books is so vast? I’ll come across an article or a “must-read books” list and realize I’ve barely read 5-10% of them. It's quite humbling to realize I've read such a tiny part of what's out there. Though I guess the bright side is, I won't be running out of books to discover and explore anytime soon 😅
Do you guys ever feel that way too?

My only regret in life is that there are so many books and so little time!
What kinds of books are you reading? I generally try to change the genre each time I start a new book. I feel like it makes me more “well-rounded” and I don’t get in the rut of reading the same kinds of books.
I would also check the list of most popular or must-read books and start grabbing the ones that look interesting to you.
