Ever wonder how many books are in the world right this second?  Not just the huge amount likely in your TBR pile, and not ever single duplicate, but ever single different book?

GalleyCat posted Google's assessment of the total:  just shy of 130,000,000....

    Wow.

    At my rate of around 150 books per year that's 865,765 years' worth of reading ahead of me.

    Bernadette...seriously, pick up the pace!
