From Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler:

• Books You Needn’t Read
• Books Made For Purposes Other Than Reading
• Books Read Before You Even Open Them Since They Belong To The Category Of Books Read Before Being Written
• Books That If You Had More Than One Life You Would Certainly Also Read But Unfortunately Your Days Are Numbered
• Books You Mean To Read But There Are Others You Must Read First
• Books Too Expensive Now And You’ll Wait Till They’re Remaindered
• Books ditto When They Come Out In Paperback
• Books You Can Borrow From Somebody
• Books That Everybody’s Read So It’s As If You Had Read Them, Too
• Books You’ve Been Planning To Read For Ages
• Books You’ve Been Hunting For Years Without Success
• Books Dealing With Something You’re Working On At The Moment
• Books You Want To Own So They’ll Be Handy Just In Case
• Books You Could Put Aside To Maybe Read This Summer
• Books You Need To Go With Other Books On Your Shelves
• Books That Fill You With Sudden, Inexplicable Curiosity, Not Easily Justified
• Books You’ve Always Pretended To Have Read And Now It’s Time To Sit Down And Really Read Them
