Forget Your Antilibrary, Try Bacon Instead

[Mark Dykeman]

I'm seeing this a year after publication but glad I found it. I was fascinated by the term antilibrary when I first heard about it but it's just wordplay. An antilibrary is basically inventory taking up working capital, to borrow business terminology. If you don't eventually read the books or use them in some way then they aren't very valuable.

I think that’s right. It’s clever, but that’s about all. And, as mentioned: I can’t believe Taleb actually uses books this way.

So glad I don’t have to call my library an antilibrary! And the dinner I’m going to eat tonight antitrout.
