The Concept of 'Son-Doku' and Anti-Library
Son-doku refers to acquiring books but not reading them, letting them pile up at home. This term, originating from Japanese slang, is similar to the concept of an anti-library, coined by Nassim Talib. An anti-library consists of unread books that represent potential knowledge and intellectual curiosity.
