    I guess it’s never crossed my mind. I never thought someone would get a book for a reason other than reading it. They do look good in a living room

        I get it. I didn’t imagine books could be purely ornamental, but the consensus seems to be that’s not too rare. I personally organise them broadly by genre and theme, so if I have to recommend something to friend I will point at a particular shelf and go “look in there”
