2. I'm glad you enjoy them. Frankly, I only get to read a small fraction of what I want to read, so..

...you're not alone in that.

It is a good thing, I think, to want to read more than one has time to do. It's a sign of freedom and a sign that your brain is working better than you may think it is.

Going through a recent issue of a journal I read quite a bit, ACS Sustainable and Chemical Engineering, Issue 23 (2020), I see I marked 16 papers for deeper reading, and thus far have only gotten into one at any level of depth, Energy-Saving CO2 Capture by H2 Gas Stripping for Integrating CO2 Separation and Conversion Processes, about sparging CO2 solutions with hydrogen for direct conversion to chemical fuels.

I haven't even marked the subsequent issues for papers of interest.

Over a long life though, I've managed to build a fairly large paper library and a far more massive electronic library, so whenever I have time, I can keep myself amused. If I wake up in the night with a new idea, I can usually go down to my office to find papers relevant to it.

Life is magnificent, and then you die.
