Your remark reminds me of something that happened maybe six years ago, my wife sister is visiting us, she sees the large papberback edition of Don Quixote and asks me what it is about. I tell her it is about a man driven crazy by reading too many books, my wife has to use all her self restraint not to say “oh you mean like you, Mel”. Have not seen any indicating of brain or cognitive functional hurt by over Reading,
that's encouraging... but i wonder if it applies to those who over read: maybe their brains break down after awhile... at least in my case...
