For some reason this reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meridith as a very bookish sort, with really thick glasses, who survives the Nuclear Holocaust, and finds a library. He builds stacks of the books and says, "I'll read these this year, and those next year, and those the year after! Finally, enough time to read!"

Then he trips and breaks his glasses.
