The Demilich posted:Sure bookburning may be detrimental to society at large, but some of those books being lit up are by Ayn Rand, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not, Only one person complained about what was about to happen, and they stopped when I showed them the cover. (They showed up late, I'd already made clear what book was going into the firepit)

i'm a moderate on the question of bookburning. people literally glue books together and turn them into decorations, how is this any worst? sometimes things gotta burn

Gutenberg ruined bookburning. It's not fun if there's a bunch of copies

Pretty sure Zoom quickly added the ability to use custom backdrops, and everyone just started floating in space or lounging at the beach for free. Or just blurred out their actual background.

Bookshelves are normally fairly static.

You could even specify a genre like "give me 8 feet of science books" Before covid, a family member put "pretty books" on his wishlist. He clearly knew that interior design is about books, but he didn't care for reading, so he just wanted nice leather bound tomes. Also I've seen bookcases sorted by colour irl. Also date of publication, but that's more weird than actually bad.

Books by the foot has been around forever. Biggest customers have always been realtors staging homes for sale and tv/movie/staging sets, but there's always been a lucrative side business for selling to divorced guys who wanna look well read.
