Antilibrary

James's Coffee Blog has an excellent post titled 100 things you can do on your personal website, which I've had open in a pinned tab since he published it (2 years now). I love to read through it and think about what silly things I could add to my site, and then not add them. Today, I'm gonna add one, #23: "Make an antilibrary where you list the books you own but have not or do not plan to read."

Books I have not started

• The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
• The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin
• The Passenger & Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
• Call for the Dead, A Murder of Quality, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, The Looking Glass War by John le Carré
• A Small Town in Germany by John le Carré

Books I've started

• Axiom's End by Lindsey Ellis
  I read less than a chapter and set it aside when it first came out. The writing didn't hook me, but I think I should at least give it more than 2 pages.
• Mistborn - Brandon Sanderson
  This style of fiction sucks ass. Lifeless prose, really boring "action" scenes that go on and on and on, a video game understanding of magic. I made it like 1/3 the way in and gave up, there's no way I'm reading more.

Books I will never start

• The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup
