Antilibrary

42 books that I intend to read eventually.

—
Taleb introduces the Hayekian and almost taoistic metaphor of the anti-library: A library of the books you haven't read, of the things you don't know. A massive collection of unknowledge, the anti-library contains all the books that may still change your life.

This books page layout was inspired by the books pages of Dave Rupert, Mark Llobrera, Søren Birkemeyer and Derek Shirk. I originally got the idea for a books page from Maggie Appleton and her Antilibrary. The first version of this page was inspired by Cox Chapman's Books page.
