Reading Overmuch

What is the point of so much incessant reading? There is such a glut in the world, and most if not all of it shall be forgotten. I will never gain what I am looking for by all this incessant reading of many and diverse things. I should stick to my plan, of reading very few very good authors very well. I am like an addict. My heart starves and my brain is a glutton, stuffed so full that nothing is digested, but merely awaits its moment to be vomited out unsavored.

I am tired. I have not read, I have not prayed. And I feel it. God help me.
