Sometimes I have mini existential crises when I think about all the books I want to read, and all the new ones that are constantly being released, and I realize that I'll die before I can read all of them.1

Here's a mind bender. Now think about all the amazing ones that will never get published because publishers don't think they can make money on them.4 -

Or the ones that won't get written because the author is too busy reading other people's works
Or the ones that don't get finished because the author dies first.
Actually I just wanted to join in.

That's like the book titled 'Whistle'. It was James Jones' third book in his trilogy of: From Here To Eternity / The Thin Red Line & Whistle
His third book was finished by another writer with the benefit of Jones' notes.1 -

Or this damn riddle that bugs me from time to time and apparently no one knows the real answer to because some jerk wrote it and then went and died:
I'm the loudest of voices in orchestra heard
But yet in an orchestra never was seen;
I'm a bird of gay plumage, but less like a bird
Nothing in Nature ever has been.
Touching earth I expire, in water I die,
In earth I lose breath. I can swim, I can fly.
Darkness destroys me and light is my death;
I can't keep alive without stopping my breath.
If my name can't be guessed by a boy or a man,
By a girl or a woman it certainly can.1 -

That happened with one of my favorite authors, Michael Crichton. Micro & Pirate Latitudes were both published posthumously. Pirate Latitudes was complete, but you can tell he still needed to work on it more. Micro needed extensive work to compete as he was only about 1/3 of the way through.0 -
A Confederacy Of Dunces was written by John Kennedy Toole.
It went unpublished for years. Unable to have the book published, Toole committed suicide.
His mother took the manuscript to a publisher who decided to give it a chance; It was published.
The book won a Pulitzer Prize.3 -

I confess that sometimes I'm extremely annoyed by people at work and family members. I prefer to be alone so I'm not rude or worse, forced to be fake. I'm not in the mood for small talk, IDGAF how your weekend was, don't ask me about mine. Just go away.6
