Learning Challenge: The Anti-library

Reading used to be one of my favorite pastimes. Any free time I had would be devoted to finishing up my books, but once college started, my days of reading for pleasure vanished quickly. Because of this, I haven't had time to put anything on my reading list or add any books to my library. The article discusses an interesting topic. When I first thought about it, seeing all the books I haven't read makes me feel less accomplished, but I guess it could motivate me to learn more. I can't even imagine what Eco's library must have looked like. I do like the idea of surrounding yourself with potential knowledge.

  1. I definitely understand your feelings of loss at no longer reading for fun, or for pleasure as you say. When i do find myself cracking open a new book, it's always a short lived experience. Life always seems to find a way to get in the way. Unlike the days when we were younger, we now have to make time for our hobbies and enjoyment, rather than just having it come from nothing. This seems a little sad on the surface, but it allows me personally to treasure the experiences I am able to have to a greater degree.
