For Umberto Eco, a private library is a research tool. The goal of an antilibrary is not to collect books you have read so you can proudly display them on your shelf; instead, it is to curate a highly personal collection of resources around themes you are curious about. Instead of a celebration of everything you know, an antilibrary is an ode to everything you want to explore.

I’ve never been a fan of the concept of an “antilibrary”: i can’t afford to keep more unread than read books, i don’t need to be reminded of the limited time i have left to read so many books, and i certainly don’t think the number of books i haven’t read yet is a good measure of my humility and curiosity.
