Let me say: My only hobby is try to put as many as books on my bookshelf. And my father always complain:” Look at the mess you make your room. Books everywhere. On/Beside the bed, on the desk, on the sofa. Oh…And those dusty books on your bookshelf. But I never see you reading them. What’s the point of buying them all?” I giggled back,” Well, don’t worry! Dad! One day! I will read them all! One day I will need them for research means!”
Serious, just a look at those books I pessess will cheer me up! And I quite understand that Only making unread books read will make sense. And I hate anyone share with my books. I take my small library as personal property, and I wish those books I poessess can make me a “Freak” Walking encyclopedia.
I found an interesting story from the the black swarn of nassim nicholas taleb. it said The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separares visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others---a very small minority---who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. 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 allow 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 menancingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.

We tend to treat our knowledge as personal property to be protected and defended. It is an ornament that allows us to rise in the pecking order. So this tendency to offend Eco’s library sensibility by focusing on the known is a human bias that extends to our mental operations. People don’t walk around with anti-resumes telling you what they have not studied or experienced (it’s the job of their competitors to do that), but it would be nice if they did. Just as we need to stand library logic on its head, we will work on standing knowledge itslef on its head. Our misunderstanding of the likelihood of surprises, those unread books is because we take what we know a little too seriously.

Let us call an antischolar---someone who focuses on the unread books, and makes an attempt not to treat his knowledge as a treasure, or even a possession, or even a slef-esteem enhancemnt device---a skeptical empiricist.

How do we people deal with knowledge---and our preference for the anecdotal over the empirical.

Do you have many books in your room? Do you read every book you bought or stole? Hehe? What are books to you in your life?
Is it wrong to form a habit of enlarging your library? Will those books on my bookshelf only make me fatter?

Unread books and read book, Which books are more important?
