And now, a dialogue:
Me: Reading 100 books a year is hard; I don't think you appreciate how hard.
Josh: Oh, I appreciate it. I just don't understand why you want to do it.
Me: I just want to be done.
Josh: Maybe you should take a break. God wants you to take a sabbatical.
Me: Questioning look.
Josh: In the Sinaitic Covenant God made the Jews take a sabbatical every seven years where they had to stop tending their crops and let their fields fallow.
Me: Well, I've not been doing this for seven years; I should take a break when I'm 29.
Josh: That doesn't matter. It's not like you're Jewish or anything.
Me: But then why should I take a break?
Josh: Because God wants you to.
