You are definitly not the only person who has too much to read. My want to read list grows much faster than my ability to read: books, internet blog posts, academic papers, YouTube lectures… I read lots and I still can’t keep up! I found it helpful to keep a list (a spreadsheet, actually), and then I can prioritize things a bit better. But you definitly don’t have to read everything to “be a part of the club.” I also remind myself that it is a marathon, not a sprint.
