Can't say I agree with this. I've seen too many bookshelves full of books that people bought and "have to get around to reading someday". A book is not truly yours until it's in your mind, and once it's in your mind, it shouldn't matter if you own the physical copy.

I counter with https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/ :)

I like reading books. www.paperclypse.com

I read the article with interest and can appreciate the idea of an "antilibrary". However, how would you defend having an "antilibrary" of your own vs simply having access to a public library? It seems that both serve the same purpose? I can't help but feel that the former also serves as some sort of status signifier.

Mostly I just like having books around :)

I love public libraries too! :) I don’t see them as mutually exclusive
