Week 4: If Things Could Talk....

Ah, my book shelf. That little wooden construct full of some of my favorite reads: Sci fi novels from alternate history, the blasted, war-torn future where massive armies collide to decide the fate of mankind. Not to mention all the educational texts and the random National Geographic that finds its way there but you know what would be amazing? If my book shelf could actually speak, or better yet read! This way I could offer it books that I was not so sure on if I would enjoy and it could offer me insights into what I should, or should not, read.

Perhaps we could chat back and forth about the latest novel I had read, which I'm sure my book shelf would have read far faster than I as it certainly would have greater access to the text. Though I'm not really sure it would like my choice of reading materials...I may have to introduce it to a more expansive choice of reading material. Perhaps in this way I might find other types of literature to read?

I'm sure we could talk about the various works stored on the shelf. Certainly I could add some more philosophy, I do have a few of Nietzche's works kicking around from a few years back. But how interesting it would be! What insights could be gained from having such an animated shelving unit?

Or how scary?
