<div class="prose">
<p>Many notable books, videos, blog posts, articles, ect. discuss the idea of a personal Library. This one is going to be a little different.
For starters it is not that I am treating any book(s)/genere(s) with contempt but that due to a very weird concept called <strong>time</strong> I could not
possibly make use of every possible genre much less book, nor would I want to try. So this list will focus heavy on the intellectually curious, and
those of a American <strong>middle-class</strong> background. This is what I can best speak to.</p>

<h2>On Critical Selection of Texts</h2>
<h2>Long-Form, Short-Form, and Everything in Between</h2>
<h2>On Intellectual Minimalism</h2>
<h2>On Acquisition of Texts</h2>
<h2>On Presentation of Texts</h2>
<h2>On Preservation of Texts</h2>
