Where I heard about it

  • My own bookshelf — a book I own but haven’t read, picked up from a photo of my shelves. The literal anti-library case: bought and shelved rather than recommended.

Connections

  • Books To Read — the Apple Note this shelf transcription came from.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
