Twilight finally finished her 'read later' list of books. It took her years to do and she was quite proud of her accomplishment. A small problem is pointed out by Pinkie Pie, which brings Twilight to a stunning realization.

6751351 I thought it was original, I haven't seen anything like it. Do you like?
I had a laugh.
I'm also going to set up an iron mining camp here. Seems like it'll be profitable fairly quickly.
6755174 Whatever your heart so desires

I'll make sure you get all the leftover y. They must be good for something. Like ending the. Or adverbs.
6755428 Um...wut
6755483
You're story provided such a rich bounty of iron. We just have to knock off that y at the end of it to get to the good stuff.
It's the metal we need to mine, not your mettle in executing a tried and true literary device.
6755483
All the irony. See...
1. Collect Irony
2. Separate Iron

4. Profit!
The only problem is... I am left with so much y.

I never thought about it like that. Now I feel dumb
Thanks for explaining the plans for your operation, but if there is a pretty penny to be made on the iron, I want in on it!
I guess I could use the excess y to ask you y you are making the camp here when you could be making it over there?
Very good!
I especially liked the scene where Twilight deflates and Spike had to pump her up again.
I seems Spike didn't do it for the first time.
By the way:
When will you (yes, you, reader of this comment!) read your entire "read it later"-list?
6763983 haha probably never because short stories i wanna read or one shots ill just sit down and read. Its massive 200,000 words or more books that fill my read later list...i think one of them is 1.7 million words so...yeah. Gunna take me years to finish even if i didnt add anythinelse to it.
Oh...im glad that you liked the story btw :] means im doing something right i suppose(thats a first)
6763983 Which list are you referring to?
I have no fewer than ten, and only one of them with less than fifty stories in it. (Several have several hundred....)
So… never, basically.
6763983 I have
8688 stories in my "read it later" list, and it grows every day. I almost never finish the longer ones on the list, and I mostly read those over the one shots. The list sometimes gets none in one day, but it sometimes gets 20 in about 15 minutes. So basically, I will never finish it, even if I dedicate a whole week just to reading, because by the time I get close to finishing what I have, 50 more will be in their place.6860843 That's the struggle man and I know how you feel. Even if I finished all of my read laters on fimfiction, I still have a whole list of nonpony books.
IT NEVER ENDS
thanks for the favorite btw
6860907 So my "read it later" list has about
7,030,0007,200,000 words. My problem isn't nonpony books, it's the never ending stream of fanfictions. All8893 stories on the list are on Fimfiction. For nonpony books, I usually read ones which are 200 to 600 pages long. If I try, I could finish a 502 page book in a little under 24 hours, but I no longer wish to try.I don't know why I'm saying all of this.
6860925 Hey it is what it is. It doesn't matter how fast you read because you will never finish it all. Which is depressing.
6860929 Agreed. By the way, I almost added this to the read later list, then decided to just read it immediately.
By the way, is this really in The Shameless Self-Promotion Bureau?
6860939 I hope you didn't regret reading it. I think it is, why?
6860942 First, I did not regret reading this story. Second, I wanted to know if you actually put it in The Shameless Self-Promotion Bureau or if someone else did it, since they can do that.
6860951 I think I did that. But someone else might have too idk
6860929
I look back at this conversation of about a week ago and wish that those conditions still remained. I have not finished any of the stories in my read it later list, though I'm close to done with a few of them. The number of stories in my list is 129, with a total of 11,157,565 words.
I'm not sure if you care anymore.
6889727 I always care lol, your list is a ton bigger than mine lol
6889733 A miracle occurred: I finished something on the read it later list and I'm on the last chapter of another.
6890057 Here's another problem for me when it comes to read later list...I'm OCD as hell and refuse to read books out of order and refuse to read more than one at a time
6890059 I read about 8 at a time, so that makes it hard to actually finish one of them, especially since they generally are somewhere from 20 chapters to 50 chapters long. But what do you mean by "out of order"?
Also, the total number of words only decreased by about 16,000 words.
6890072 What I mean in order is like say there is a trilogy of books. I refuse to read the second before reading the first. Sorry to hear about your count not hardly going down but mine wouldn't either.
6892168 You know when people say "one step forward, two steps back" or some thing like that? Well, I have 130 on the read later list, and a total of 11,319,456 words.
6892460 one step forward and a couple hundred steps back
6892485 And halfway through my next step forward, I will suddenly twist to the right again, throwing me off course. Again.
6892485 And looking through this, I start to wish that I had time to read all of the stories on my read it later list while not adding any to it. The list has gotten too big. How many books were supposed to be in Twilight's Library/home?
Because I now have 203 stories on that list, amounting to 20,254,020 words, and many of them have sequels which I haven't counted for it. About half are over 100,000 words, some breaching 400,000, while some others on the list are thousand-word one-shots.
The average amount of words in a normal book is about 64,000 words. The longest novel ever created (that showed up when I looked it up) was Devta, with 11,206,310 words. However this was split into 56 volumes, all part of the novel, but still 56 volumes. The longest single book without being split into volumes for the sake of not killing whoever reads it (again, when I looked it up) is Zettels Traum, which has about 1,100,000 words.
The longest story on my read later list is The Chase, with 2,204,172 words total. The second longest is MLP Time Loops, with 1,772,214 words. Both are still receiving updates. When I first attempt to read MLP Loops on FanFiction, I got to around set 70 before giving up. After that, I went to this website and found a number of other fanfictions to read.
6931173 As far as Twilight's home goes...it's a mediocre size library so I'd say anywhere in the thousands of books. However her read later list, as we've seen in the show, a lot of her books are spellbooks and whatnot and I doubt anyone is just going to sit down and read a spellbook(or a dictionary) and not including how many she has read that we haven't seen in the show itself and in Canterlot...well...I have no earthly clue as to how long her list was. I guess I never gave it much thought. Pretty long though.
6763983 Mm... Probably never.
6931608 I look back on this once again, and wish that I could stop looking back, because it reminds me that the read it later list is out of control. 334 stories, about 29 million words.
6970625 Don't allow yourself to put anything else on there until you've read all of it. I'm starting to think that this what you'll need to do. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO HELP YOURSELF!
What.
WHAT.
TWI NO.
Seriously though this was... a thing. Definitely a thing.
I... think I liked it, but it's also jumbled up my brain too sure to much be.
...wait no what
7007875 I'm glad you...liked it? I'm not sure lol thanks for reading though, whoever it was
7007966 It was certainly well-written, though, and it did well in being that sort of Pinkie Pie brand of surreally confusing. Which I admit I enjoyed a lot.
7007976 LoL well I'm glad you liked it!
7008076
What does League of Legends have to do with this
7008694
My phone autocorrect to that
That certainly exists.
And that's why Twilight Sparkle will never get a boyfriend.
As a man with constantly around 30 stories on the list, I feel the pain.
7052435 I know that feeling
..
Do you know how long it would take to read a 2 million word story?
for a reader like twilight who manages about, eh, on a reading spree twi should manage 100k words a day, saying as I have done so, a 2 million word story would take her 20 days to accomplish reading, lets put it at thirty for distractions, saturday mornings (when everythng happens), monsters, outings, and taking care of the dragon.
Off by a month.

It's been about 10 weeks since I last looked at this, and in that time, I think the list has quadrupled.
1,2391,240 stories, a total of76,974,81276,979,026 words. I don't think I can fix it any time soon, unless I just purged the list of every story I put on it. At least two of the stories have over a million words, and a number of the stories have sequels, like Austraeoh and it's sequels, each with 200 chapters. I also have 58 chapters on the tracking list. The extra story? You made that one, Zyrah. Also, I'm a paranoid schizophrenic, and may have ADHD symptoms.7189189
ADHD Autistic/Aspergers guy here. And my 'Read it later' list now consists of 1038 stories.
