Sharing your shelf is sharing yourself – showcasing the building blocks
that have crafted your knowledge, personality, and identity. While the
internet has long valued the voyeurism in sharing and viewing photos of
beautiful books as objects, grand libraries as cathedrals of intellect,
and bookshelves as marvels of design, I created
ShareYourShelf.tumblr.com
as a way to attach individuality and ownership to these previously
anonymous assortments of titles. I also don't have enough time to visit
everyone's living room, but that doesn't leave me any less curious as to
the books there.
