Shelf-respect: books you honor with shelf-space but don’t seriously mean to read. What are yours? Especially recent ones. Usual suspects: Tufte, Knuth, Shakespeare, Rumi, Piketty, Bratton, Wolfram, Bible It isn’t signaling, anti-library, or aspiration. It’s...idolatry?

Your bookshelf looks very classy, with fine volumes. Mine looks like crap. Starting with the ikea bookshelves themselves.

that bookshelf is poached from gf's mom's mudroom; it's made out of actual wood but that's about the most you can say about it
