The older you get, the harder it is to pluck a book out of your antilibrary to actually read. Fewer and fewer register the heat signature of “will meaningfully change my thinking in some way” 😔

At some point thinking is just increasingly difficult attempts to escape the gravity well of thoughts already thunk
And one day you fail and vanish past your own event horizon

A good time to revisit old favs and some of those books that didn’t quite ‘work’.
Re-reading books and re-watching films is underrated imo. It’s just as interesting/meaningful to see in ways the one’s own thinking has changed.

Antilibrary? Is that a library of books that run counter to your current ideas? Also you’re just prioritizing your time! So ditch the anti ideas.

What happens if your library and antilibrary come into contact? Do they annihilate one another and release a burst of energetic photons?

I feel this but also find it refreshing! The bigger my antilibrary, the more selective I get, the better books I read…at least in theory. In reality kinda barbell strategy, more selective w/ "change my thinking" books, but also feel more free to just read random fun shit :)
