Post your discoveries here. I was inspired after watching this one about the late Umberto Eco's collection:

30,000 books in that video. People would ask him, how many of these have you read? He would (jokingly) reply "All of them. I keep the unread ones in my office."
Another quote by him: "Your library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial rates, mortgage rates and the current tight real estate market allow you to put there."

There's a discussion of Eco's library in the Legacy Libraries group: https://www.librarything.com/topic/219444
