The pace seems okay and with a normal life expectancy it should work out, but I am "already" 33 so not the youngest of TL users. Usually I don't read non-fiction books from beginning to end, but rather get back to them if I am looking for specific things. So to me I doesn't seem fair to count them as read. In the end I think I don't care about the precise number so much, but rather what I get out of the books. In my mid-twenties I stopped reading books midway through, if I didn't like them as much. Very good decision in hindsight.
Most books I read within 5-10 days, then I stumble upon a book that is okay but not great and then I procrastinate on the reading for weeks or even months sometimes. Haven't found a good workaround for that yet.

I'm with you on stopping books that are not enjoyable. Life is too short to slog through stuff just for the sake of completion.

Discover immortality.
What happens though if everyone else dies in nuclear holocaust or asteroid hitting the earth? Or I assume you'd still be alive when our sun has burned out, what if we hadn't reached interstellar travel by that time? Would you just be floating out in space in a suit for all eternity hoping to hit a habitable planet?
