On an Eclectic Personal Library

Thoughts on building and maintaining a diverse personal library

status: In Progress
·
certainty: certain
·
importance: 7/10
Many notable books, videos, blog posts, articles, ect. discuss the idea of a personal Library. This one is going to be a little different. For starters it is not that I am treating any book(s)/genere(s) with contempt but that due to a very weird concept called time I could not possibly make use of every possible genre much less book, nor would I want to try. So this list will focus heavy on the intellectually curious, and those of a American middle-class background. This is what I can best speak to.

On Critical Selection of Texts

Long-Form, Short-Form, and Everything in Between

On Intellectual Minimalism
