# Books Hub
Index for `Works/Books/` — **258 pages, roughly three-quarters of everything in `/Works/`.** The vault's largest single collection, and a research corpus rather than a shelf: most entries exist because a book is cited, argued with, or treated as a movement document somewhere else in the KB.
Because of its size this hub routes rather than lists. For live tables, use `Works/Books/Books.base`.
## Two different collections live here
- **[[Reading Log Hub]]** — a personal reading shelf: currently-reading, completed, to-get, favorites. Driven by the `reading_*` frontmatter layer. Books *without* reading keys are corpus only, not shelf.
- **The research corpus** — everything else. Books that matter because the KB argues with them.
