All the physical books I own. I have not read all of them (actually, maybe a majority ðŸ˜). As Nassim Taleb puts it:
The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means … 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 menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.
Is this cope? Generally, I read a lot better/faster when there's less friction between me being interested and actually reading. That's why I have a lot of books that I haven't read yet. I like being able to drop whatever I'm currently reading to switch to something that I want to read at a particular time.
