I can relate as well. Years back I did a project blog that was meant to be one year but I got so many followers and enjoyed it so, i did it for Three years! Back then you didn't make much money from blogs, a few affiliate links was my only reward. Except of course the reward of accomplishment. I say go for it. And I also love taking down random books. I have a lot of old 19th century volumes and I have read some of them. There is something wonderful about reading a book that you know was read by someone 100s of years earlier.
