A Book Room -- Literally!

I've always thought it would be cool to have one room in my house where I keep all my books. Call it a library or a book room. It would be both a storage area and shrine, of sorts, to my books. Complete with a comfy chair and a lamp where I could read them.

However, when I think of book rooms, I didn't exactly have this in mind.

It's supposed to be art (and, just as an aside, wouldn't it be better to give the books away than to create a structure from them?), but it got me thinking about what you could do with all those books you don't read anymore, but can't bear to part with.

It's an interesting curiosity, at any rate.
