Seven "books" a week?

Ain't healthy or smart.

So when is your next GED reunion?

Who said I was mad? I'm just making a statement based on a badly thought-out post.

Although fighting right now, you two have lots in common. Maybe you should form a club.

He's not gonna get it, so let's just bombard him with fun quotes about reading. :tongue3:

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - from Dr. Seuss

 

[Aaron]

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Solomon

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” - Ray Bradbury

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Solomon

Completely out of context. The actual admonition is not to avoid books, but to beware of what books you read:

Ecclesiastes 12,NASB
9 In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs.
10 The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly.
11 The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd.​

Then comes your verse ...

12 But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.​

... which Solomon follows up with this summation:

13 The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.
14 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.​

You have misrepresented the word of God in an effort to win a human argument. And that, as they say, is that.

No I haven't. But thanks for paraphrasing my points.
