Too many books.

“There are too many books!” yelled an old man wielding a hearing aid and a cane. He shook his head. “There are too many books. I wish I had time and legs to explore all of these books.”

"Thank you for being so helpful, young one," he said to me.

I wasn't sure if he was being sincere or condescending.
