Umberto Eco A Library Of The World - 2022 - 7/10
In his last move, Eco’s home library contained more than 30,000 titles.
After that, he quit keeping count.
Book lovers, readers or collectors, aspire or despair.
Eco’s personal collection is vast, his organization idiosyncratic.
Along the journey, he talks about reading: for enjoyment, for pleasure, for knowledge.
He differentiates between knowledge and information. A key distinction seeing as our current era provides infinite information, most of it useless.
The Professor manages to be perceptive and enthusiastic, and while you may not dash out to acquire titles referenced, he does make one long to read.
