/lit/ - Literature

Does anyone else get a little bit of anxiety from thinking about how much they want/have to read? For me specifically the problem is exasperated because I believe I’m probably a pretty slow reader though I’ve never timed myself. I love reading now but up until a year or so ago I only ever read stuff assigned in high school n college because I was simply obsessed with music up until then. So I’ve got a lot to read like the Iliad, Ulysses, all of Shakespeare, paradise lost, war and peace, etc. it’s all enjoyable reading but FUCK is it a lot
