    • Oh, no; acquired and shelved does not mean read! My collect to read ratio is embarrassing; I will never finish all that I have acquired. That said, I take some comfort in this: “The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.” (Nassim Taleb)

      Unrelated: For a number of reasons, I deactivated my Twitter profile. You’ve got my email.
