I like books too much to appreciate this. Just sell the books and put up a big Mapplethorpe poster.

1. It's great until you want to find a particular book.
Pretty dumb idea...

3. That makes me cringe!
I have a pet peeve about mistreating books. Maybe because I was 11 when I read Fahrenheit 451. Anyway, that just goes against the grain.

4. Is that lighting?

Either lighting or some sort of Photoshopped rainbow tint added after the fact. Doesn't really look to me like it's just the books themselves.

8. I dunno. I'd smoke a bong in that room.
