There are more books in the world than I could ever read in a single lifetime, and books are produced far faster than I can read them.
The fact that I am pretty easily entertained makes it less of an issue for me, I suppose. I rarely get bored.

Well, I imagine you're a fantastic houseguest. I could sit you in front of a blank wall, and you would be entertained
My point: after <arbitrary number> books, it takes a really special/unique/well-written book to entertain.
You would be doing for sake of doing, and as your friends died out one by one: it'd cease to matter. Your connections to this world will fade out, and you will be alone. Nothing to hold onto for perspective... and one day: you'll start to forget. Your passions will dry up... until not one <book> in the universe will interest you any longer. Today you are entertainable... 500 years from now, you will be nearly impossible to entertain.
Don't get me wrong... I'd like more time. I just don't want that time forced upon me well past any point I'd enjoy.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
