Let's pretend that it takes only 1 hr for Tom to speed read those
books.  That would be:
  315,651 hrs / 8760 hrs/year = 36 years
Assuming Tom started when he didn't graduate from high school in 1962,
he would have been done reading in about:
  1962 + 36 = 1998
Tom might need get updated books since many of them would be obsolete
by the time Tom was done reading all the books.

I'll assume that while "reading out" 3 libraries and 1 military
library that Tom read each book only once.  Hmmm... reading each book
only once at any library makes me wonder why Tom bothered to mentioned
3 libraries and 1 military library.  Doing it all in one library would
have been adequate.
