He's not wrong. Going outside is a natural, healthy desire. Wanting to read a book is a strange one that suggests confused instincts.

Agreeing with the OP pic reveals you to be the retarded ape that you are. Nietzsche wasn't condemning books in general; he was condemning people who let books dictate their thoughts. It's the same fucking thing as letting the little internet people on 4chinz decide what your thoughts and opinions are, instead of actually thinking for yourself

>When I want to relax my mind, I take into my hands the writings of that man, who recently published Martial’s Amphitheatrum and Persius. I never laugh more sweetly than when I see something published by that Tuscan. I often marvel that he read so many books that he no longer knew anything. How often he raves! Yet, he has his admirers. Let them have them, but let them be Parisians [Joseph Scaliger, Letter to Isaac Casaubon]

does anyone know if it's true that philologists read "200 books per day"??? hard to believe this is anything but hyperbole but maybe pre-internet academia was just a demanding hellscape like that

I read 900 books per day.

I can only imagine that that would mean "skimming through passages out of 200 books" or going through things they've already read for reference, because even for a high level speed reader that would come off as insane. Even at 100 books a day, even constantly reading, you'd barely have a 10 minute block for a given book, so I could only imagine this reading would be done the way a scientist might skim a set of research papers.
