Drowning in Information

I am overwhelmed. Why? There is a wealth of information out there at my fingertips thanks to the internet. Sadly, there are not enough hours in the day to absorb it all. The problem is not so much the vast amount of information, but my desire to possess it all. This obsessive desire doesn’t end at cyberspace. I take it with me to the library and bookstore. Both are a sort of sanctuary for me. Knowing full well that I have legions of books at home waiting to be read, I still want more, more, more!
