Often I feel much more excited in buying appealing books from their content, authors or editors, and use them as discovery pieces of art/reflection instead of being forced to read them in a frenetic kind of way. Un-read books often stay years on my shelves or randomly stacked on my desk, until one day... bingo! It suddenly feels the right time to open one or another, and put my nose & soul into it. To me, it feels like a playful way to approach reading. It also reminds me of Ze perfect anti-library you told me about, and where I always stop by whenever I go to Paris: Un regard moderne, 10 rue Gît-le-Coeur, 6ème arrond. --- http://www.arteradio.com/son.html?12327 (a web reportage about this very bookshop, in French) Love this idea of anti-library, probably because I do myself deal with books the same way.

I think you'd like the article about the (dis)organized nature of the stacks, see http://ambidextrousmag.org/issues/11/ and search for "Prelinger" to find the article.
