Still sounds a bit much. But let's have some fun with napkin math: Assuming you started reading to them when they were 2, then you'd have three years to read. To get to 1000 books that would be almost one book a day. You'd have to go to the library twice a week unless your library let you lend 7 books at once. I think most libraries only allow you to lend out 3 books at a time.
