Why do I need to read 100 books a year?

Not that I have want to but I have to. I have this quantum obsession for information, I feel bad if I missed reading for a single day. 

Even though I read a lot but I am barely a dweeb. 100 books a year will mean I have to finish 8 books per month, that’s about 2 books a week. I don’t usually make it since my work drains me for at least 8 hours a day and by the time I reached home I will be dead tired. Nevertheless, I try to accomplish that goal. Last year wasn’t too bad, 68 books in total.

I have no aspiration to be the most knowledgeable man on earth but I must know something not everything. 

What other obsessions do I have?

I have to read national papers, tabloids, Reuters, Economist, USA Today, Yahoo, Channelnewsasia and Time news via my feedreader. Not to mention the articles from various websites. I must have information and thank goodness, I don’t have a mega memory, but I was born with the abilities to pick up important messages within the information so I don’t have to remember everything.

I see the constant needs for me gather information as much as possible in the shortest time. Unless we are alike, I don’t think you will understand why an addict/ eccentric like me exist.
