I've been able to read a book a day since I was 13. Over 35 years, that adds up, not that I could always find something new to read every single day. I enjoy re-reading the better stories, but can't always remember the author and title.
I also think if I ever tried to write my own stories, I'd quickly get into trouble because I might pull up an idea I was sure was my own, only to be publicly outed as a plagerist.
